WARNING
Failure to follow Eaton process and product instructions and limitations could
lead to premature hose assembly failures, resulting in property damage,
serious injury or death.
Eaton fitting tolerances are engineered to match Eaton hose tolerances.
The use of Eaton fittings on hose supplied by other manufacturers and/or
the use of Eaton hose fittings supplied by other manufacturers, may result
in the production of unreliable and unsafe hose assemblies and is neither
recommended nor authorized by Eaton.
Read and understand the operator’s manual before attempting to operate
any equipment.
Eaton hereby disclaims any obligation or liability (including incidental and
consequential damages) arising from breach of contract, warranty, or tort
(under negligence or strict liability theories) should Eaton Aeroquip or Eaton
Weatherhead hose, fittings or assembly equipment be used with the hose,
fittings or assembly equipment supplied by another manufacturer, or in the
event that product instructions for each specified hose assembly are not
followed.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
1
. Prevent Unauthorized operation. Do not permit anyone to operate this
equipment unless they have read and thoroughly understand this manual.
2. Wear safety glasses. Do not wear loose clothing while operating the
machine.
3. Avoid pinch points. Do not rest your hand on the crimp ring. Keep your
hands clear of all moving parts. Do not allow anyone, other than the operator,
close to the equipment while it is in operation.
4. Maintain dies with care. Dies used in the FT1380e crimp machine are
sintered powdered metal, offering the best combination of strength and wear
resistance for long life. Sintered powdered metal dies are generally brittle
and care should be taken to avoid any sharp impact. Never strike a die with a
hardened instrument.
5. Use only specified Eaton products. Make hose assemblies using only Eaton
hose assemblies specified for this assembly equipment.
6. Verify correct crimp diameters. Check and verify correct crimp diameters of
all fittings after crimping. Do not put any hose assemblies into service if the
crimp diameters do not meet Eaton crimp specifications.
7. Make sure all dies are completely in place and the cage is positioned
properly on the pressure plate.
8. Do not over pressurize. Do not exceed the 10,000 psi hydraulic pressure
supplied to the machine. This setting is preset at the factory and should not
require adjustment.
Note: All components used to connect the pump and crimp cylinder must meet
the criteria set forth in the Material Handling Institute Specification #IJ100 for
hydraulic jacking applications.
9. Die change. Do not insert/remove dies while the power is on.
10. Secure the equipment to a stable work surface. Prior to operation, secure
the crimp machine to a stable work surface to prevent the equipment from
tipping.
11. Unplug the power supply when not in use.
12. Keep work area clean. Cluttered areas and benches invite accidents.
