Gates GC20 Cortex
SETUP
There are three main steps to setting up the Gates GC20 Cortex:
■
Install the crimper on a workbench, connect the pump, and power up.
■
Set up the tablet. (page 8)
■
Calibrate the crimper. (page 12)
INSTALL THE CRIMPER
1.
Remove the crimper, back-up ring, no-notched die cone (the notched die cone
is sold separately as PN 7482-0297), die magnet, hose assembly, mounting
bracket with bolt, jar of Molykote “G” grease, and tablet from the shipping
carton. Remove the pump, breather cap and operating manual from its
shipping carton.
2.
Mount the crimper so it overhangs a workbench (as shown in Figure 1). The
overhang is necessary to allow hoses to be inserted through the base plate
slot from underneath the crimper. The back of the cutout (in the base plate)
should be in line with the front of the bench, see Figure 2. The bench should
be 37” to 42” high, stable and of sturdy construction.

3.
Drill three 3/8" diameter holes as shown in Figure 2. Connect the mounting
bracket to the top rear of crimper and to the hole farthest from the edge of
the workbench. Further secure the crimper to the workbench using the two
remaining holes.
