6. IF THE MACHINE DOES NOT WORK…
If the motor doesn’t start up
1. To start up the machine, turn the switch completely to the left (0) and then to the upright
position (I).
2. Make sure that the voltage on the machine plate is the same as the power supply. If not,
please contact the seller of the machine.
3. Check the power supply to the machine: check the power supply cable, contact plug
and wall socket, possible safety or main power switch as well as the fuses outside of
the machine.
4. Open the crimping machine’s electrical cabinet and check the thermal relay.
If the motor starts up but the dies don’t move
1. Check the rotation of the motor.
2. Check the oil level.
3. Check that the measuring device is in its place and the cable is connected.
4. Check that the dies are not already in close- or retraction position.
5. Check that the direction valve gets power (24V). Press the crimping- and retraction
buttons, the lights on the valves should light up at the same time.
If the machine leaks oil
1. A new machine might leak a small amount of rust protection oil under the cylinder or
under the machine.
2. When the machine has been filled up with oil, some oil might have leaked inside the
machine and then slowly under the machine.
3. If the machine is in continuous use, some oil (0,1dl) might pass the seals and leak
under the cylinder when the machine is stopped or when changing the die sets.
If the machine’s power is not enough
If you contact the manufacturer or the distributor about the operating or service-problems,
remember to give your crimping machine’s serial number and the type of the control.
1. The lack of power might be caused by dry sliding surfaces. Grease the machine.
2. Check that the coupling or the piece you are crimping is the size that the machine can
crimp. The machine’s pressure relief valve opens and the dies stop when the maximum
power of the machine has been reached.
3. If the dies open up in normal speed but close slower and the machine is lacking
crimping power, there is dirt in the hydraulic system which causes a leak in the valve.
The hydraulic system of the machine has to be cleaned and the valves either cleaned or
changed.
4. The pressure relief valve of the machine has been adjusted at the factory. Do not open
or adjust this valve in any way. If you suspect that the valve is not working properly,
contact the seller of the machine.
5. Make sure that there is oil enough in the tank.
