T-480-EP Set-Up & Operating Instructions
1.
Open vent plug on reservoir. Release the
pusher clip and slide pusher back. NOTE:
Periodically lubricate the die ring with
Weatherhead T-400-G lubricant. When
crimping with Coll-O-Crimp® I tooling, insert
the T-420-25 adapter die ring into the base
plate. Insert the proper sized collet.
2.
Select the proper Weatherhead hose and
end fitting. Insert the hose into the end fitting,
making sure that the hose is bottomed in end
fitting. For insertion depth information, reference
figure A, page 12.
3.
Loosen knob and tilt press as necessary.
Insert hose assembly from below the base
plate and between the collet halves. Align
dimples or knurl band on end fitting with
top of collet, making sure that collet halves
are evenly matched. When crimping H757
hose, position end fitting as shown in figure
D, page 12.
4.
Holding uncrimped hose assembly in place,
refer to the PowerSource crimp spec tool at
danfoss.com/crimp for correct spacer ring.
Note: when crimping spiral-reinforced hose
(H430, H439, H470), a T-480-68 spacer ring
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 in figure B, page 12 and slide pusher
forward, making sure pusher clip has locked.
5.
Press pump switch to the top detent “ON”
position. Press pendant switch and hold
until the spacer ring contacts the base ring,
indicating that the crimp is complete.
6.
Release pendant switch to retract pusher
and move pump switch to the middle “OFF”
position. 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 1/16” from the locating
dimples on the collar, see figure C, page 12.
