ET3000-HP Set-Up & Operating Instructions
1. Pump reservoir must be properly vented before
operation. Release the pusher clip and slide pusher
back. Note: periodically lubricate the die ring with
Danfoss T-400-G lubricant. When crimping with
Danfoss tooling insert the T-420-25 adapter die ring
into the base plate. Insert the proper sized collet.
3. Loosen knob and tilt press as necessary. Insert hose
assembly from below the base plate and between
the collet halves. Align crimp scribe line on end
fitting with top of collet, making sure that collect
halves are evenly matched.
5. Close release valve.
2. Select the proper Aeroquip hose and end fitting.
Insert the hose into the end fitting making sure that
the hose is bottomed into the end fitting.
4. Holding uncrimped hose assembly in place, reference Hose End and
Tool Selector Chart found in Product Advisor for correct spacer ring.
Note: when crimping hose that does not require a stepped spacer ring,
the T-480 -68 pusher extension must be used to prevent damage to the
pusher. Position spacer ring on top of collet with proper side of spacer
ring facing up as shown on page 13 and slide pusher forward, making
sure pusher clip has locked.
6. Operate pump handle until spacer ring contacts the base plate
indicating that the crimp is complete. Open the release valve to retract
pusher. Release the pusher clip and slide the pusher back to access
tooling. Remove the spacer ring and the crimped hose assembly from
below the base plate and between the collet halves. Note: visually
inspect the crimped end. Check the nominal crimp diameter and verify
that the crimp is within specification, see page14.
