Turn power switch off. Using grease gun, grease front (16) die shoe grease fittings until
grease appears between die and die cone surface (approx 1 ½ pumps). Cycle crimper 5
times (alternate between top CRIMP button and bottom RETRACT button, or actuate
with foot peddle) to distribute grease evenly.
Lubrication should be done whenever the sliding surfaces of the die cone get shiny or
about every 250 crimps.
7. Install die set.
Refer to the Using GC96 and GC32 series die sets section for instructions on
installing the desired die set
8. Calibration
Before crimping a hose assembly, check calibration. Calibration is the proper
relationship between a setting and the crimp diameter. It should be checked only if you
find the crimp measurements are no longer within Gates crimping specifications or new
parts have replaced old parts on the crimper or if crimper has been used heavily or
abused. Calibration should be used if a large discrepancy, greater then the Gates
specified tolerance range of +/- 0.010.
For the GC96 there are two possible methods to field calibrate the crimper.
1- Calibration with the GC32-33 die and the GC96 Spacer die set.
A. Install the GC96 spacer die set using the die removal tool (Prod. No 7482-9181).
B. Press OPTIONS then TOOLS on the TOUCH SCREEN control panel. Press Die
CNG to adjust the crimper head to accept the GC32 Quick Change Tool.
C. Load the GC32-33 die set using the Quick Change Tool.
D. Set the Set Point Value to 1.15.
E. While holding the thread end of an 8G MegaCrimp® coupling, insert coupling into
crimper so that ferrule is 1/8” from front edge of die shoe.
F. Press and hold top blue CRIMP button. Crimper will close down to position
defined by the Set Point Value. Once it reaches that position, crimper will
automatically shut off.
NOTE: CRIMP button and foot pedal operate on a “dead man” control. It only operates
as long as you depress the CRIMP button or hold foot pedal down. It stops immediately
when switch is released.
