3 - INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

3.1 - SAFETY:

The machine must be 

installed

 on a bench or on a stable base.

Do not put your hand in the 

crimping

 head during operation.

Do not modify technical characteristics of the machine (pressure or others).

When performing any kind of maintenance upon the electrical system,

ensure that the machine is disconnected from the power supply.

Do not cover the electric motor ventilator.

Disconnect the machine from electrical supply when working on the dies,

die-carriers or intermediate dies.

3.2 - UNPACKING - INSTALLATION:

Unpack the machine without destroying the pack

aging

.  From then on, the machine should only be transported in its

original pack

aging.

  Please retain for future use.

To r

emove the lid from the box

 r

emove the screws at the bottom of the

 lid; 

lift the

 lid

 

off

 the box.   P

lace webbings

under the machine, or raise it with a lift truck.  Never lift the machine by the working head or any of
its component parts.
For best use and less 

operator fatigue

 it is advisable to secure the machine horizontally on a base

approximatively .75 metres in height.  

Once you have positioned the machine, remove the blanks from the oil tank filling cap.  Wait for 20 minutes, and
check the oil level using the dip stick attached to filling cap.
The machine should only be connected to a safe electrical circuit, in accordance with the latest European guide-
lines.

Electrically connect the motor making sure it rotates in the direction indicated by the arrow located on the casing.
Check this rotation by quickly switching the main switch on and using the emergency stop.

Important: faulty motor rotation can damage the pump.  To change the direction of motor rotation, reverse the two
phase wires to the mains plug.  The machine has been preconnected to run on a 380 V 3-phase mains supply.   To
connect to a 220 V 3-phase or 1-phase mains supply, please consult us.

Install the gauge setting mechanism on the crimp head face flange. Do this with the machine disconnected
from the mains supply. 
 For correct installation, display 000 on the counter dial by turning the counter knob
counterclockwise.  Attach the 

micrometer gauge assembly

 using the two screws with springs supplied, 

ensuring

  

the counter is the correct way up.

Connect the 

electrically operated micrometer gauge assembly

 plug to the socket behind the front panel.

Unpacking and/or installation which do not conform to these procedures

will render the warranty void.

To be connected by a qualified electrician only,
