GC16XD MINI CRIMPER & PUMP SAFETY & OPERATION MANUAL

Periodically Redistribute greats build up.

The crimper is designed to automatically redistribute some grease 

around the cone. Grease will also build up over time as some is pushed 

out. This can be redistributed with a brush periodically. At the rear of 

the crimper, use a grease brush to distribute grease inward that has 

been pushed out by crimping action. To properly care for your machine 

this should be done every 100 crimps, or whenever a 

significant amount of grease has been pushed out of circulation.

Warranty is VOID if alternative grease is used.

Periodically check the foam fillers

The foam fillers have been provided to prevent metal partials from 

entering the working area.

Always ensure the head is in the OPEN position when storing. If the 

shoe Cluster stays together when the head is opened, then to recover, 

close and open the head a number of times to re-distribute the grease 

and prevent binding.

Warranty is VOID if alternative grease is used.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

This crimper requires minimal maintenance. However, the following practices are recommended  

to ensure maximum reliability and service.

LUBRICATION

Periodically Redistribute grease build up.

The crimper is designed to automatically redistribute some grease 
around the cone. 

Grease will also build up over time as some is pushed out. This can 
be redistributed with a brush periodically.

At the rear of the crimper, use a grease brush to distribute grease 
inward that has been pushed out by crimping action. To properly 
care for your machine this should be done every 100 crimps, or 
whenever a significant amount of grease has been pushed out of 
circulation.

Periodically apply fresh Tungsten Disulphide grease.

If cone becomes shiny, use a brush to apply a tablespoon of fresh 
Tungsten Disulphide grease around the cone. The machine comes 
with Tungsten Disulphide grease, which is far more effective 
than alternatives. Do not use alternative grease, as this will 
contaminate the grease on your machine. 

 

Using alternatives will 

void warranty.

FLANGE HEAD BOLTS

Periodically check torque bolts

.

Check torque on flange bolts every 6 months. Torque settings is 
330 Nm, or 243 ftlb.

FOAM FILLER PADS

Periodically inspect filler pads.

The crimper will not retract if foam filler pads are clogged with 
grease, in which case the foam filler pads need to be replaced. 
Inspect filler pads every 1000 crimp cycles. Foam should return to 
original shape after compression. If foam pad does not fill space 
between die shoes, order new set and install. (product number)

CHECK OIL LEVEL

Periodically inspect oil level.

Check oil level in pump reservoir after every 10 hours of use. 
Hydraulic oil should be visible in sight glass when head is fully 
closed.
