INSTALLATION 

 

 

 

Unpack the crimper and verify you have received the following items:  

 

 

KH-60 Crimper  

 

Reservoir Vent  

 

Ram Pusher  

 

Bent Tube Pusher Donut 

 

Operators Manual  

 

Moly Grade Anti-Seize 3 oz. Tube  

 

 

Follow these steps before using the crimper for the first time:  

 

1.

 

Locate a sturdy bench or worktable at a suitable height for your needs that’s in a well-lighted 
area and within 7 feet of a 110 Volt AC outlet.  

  

2.

 

Lift the crimper onto the located worktable.  Due to the weight of the crimper, Kurt Hydraulics 
recommends lifting the crimper by mechanical means at the top of the single handle.  When 
lifted by this handle, the crimper will be balanced.  Place the front edge of the sheet metal 
crimper base flush to the front of the worktable.  The crimper is balanced in this position but 
Kurt Hydraulics recommends using the four (4) mounting holes provide in the crimper base to 
securely fasten to the worktable.    

  

3.

 

Plug-in power cord to a grounded 110 Volt AC outlet.  The use of extension cords is not 
recommended.  

  

4.

 

Remove the threaded shipping plug and replaced with the supplied vent.
