TROUBLESHOOTING
PROBLEM: CRIMPER WILL NOT RUN AT ALL
•
The white rocker switch is also a circuit breaker. Check to see that the circuit breaker has not been tripped.
•
Check the wall outlet. Use of extension cords or outlets with inadequate power can damage the motor .
Do not run the crimper from a portable power source.
PROBLEM: CRIMP DIAMETER TOO LARGE
•
Check crimper calibration and recalibrate if required.
•
Incorrect die being used. Each die has a range of approximately 3mm (.120 in) above the closed diameter of the
die. The closed diameter is the die size stamped on the die face.
•
Incorrect setting of the micrometer. Check hose manufacturer’s specifications.
•
Inadequate pump pressure. Check oil level in the pump. It should be 1-1/2 to 2 inches below the fill plug. Replenish
with ISO Viscosity Grade 46 hydraulic oil if necessary.
•
Inadequate lubrication of the master dies causing the pump to work harder than normal to reach the required diam-
eter.
•
Inadequate pressure being generated by the pump. This is most likely if the crimper can crimp the smaller size
hoses and not the larger hoses. When correctly adjusted, the pump should generate approximately 5000 psi.
Do Not adjust pump to produce in excess of 5000 psi as damage to components or personal injury
could result
•
No pressure being generated by the pump. There should be a definite change in pitch of the pump as it cycles into
high pressure mode and begins to “work” harder.
PROBLEM: CRIMP DIAMETER TOO SMALL
•
Check crimp diameter and recalibrate if necessary.
•
Incorrect die being used (See die range under Crimp Diameter Too Large).
•
Incorrect setting of the micrometer. Check hose manufacturer’s specifications.
