Basic Machine Operation
With the machine installed as outlined in this manual and with the disconnect switch turned on. push the start button. The pump will start
running.
The crimp ring is pulled over the crimp cage by a hydraulic cylinder. Depressing the footswitch will move the crimp ring forward extending
the cylinder. Pressing the jog reverse button will move the crimp ring back to its retracted position..
You will find that being able to jog the crimp ring in either direction will be very helpful when positioning the fitting within the crimp dies
during the crimping cycle or when setting up the fitting locator.

Maintenance
1. Sliding surfaces must be kept free of dirt and other abrasive materials.
2. Surfaces of crimp dies and the crimp ring where metal to metal contact is made should be lubricated with high efficiency PTFE grease
(Danfoss part number FF91455) at the beginning of each production run or as required during production (minimum of once per 25
crimps, and more often with larger hose).
3. All exposed black metal surfaces should be coated occasionally with a light film of oil to prevent corrosion.
4. The oil level in the fluid reservoir of the hydraulic power unit should be checked periodically and maintained at a level one inch below
the top of .the reservoir. Note: The crimp die cage should be retracted fully when the oil level is checked. Add SAE 10 weight hydraulic
oil as necessary.
