CRIMPING
Once the hose and coupling are prepared, you are ready to crimp with the KH60 crimper.
Insure that you have the following:
Verify all components are available.
Properly prepared the hose and coupling.
Insure the interior of the hose is free of cuttings, dirt or other debris.
Obtain the Kurt Hydraulics crimp specifications.
1.
Consult the Kurt Hydraulics crimp specification for the KH60 to determine the proper die set
for the chosen hose and coupling combination.
2.
Lubricate the cone base and segments for the die set with the supplied anti-seize or equivalent
high pressure molybdenum grease. Re-apply grease regularly, especially when wearing
surfaces on cone base and fingers appear shiny. Kurt Hydraulics recommends applying more
grease at least every 10 crimps, or after periods of non-use.
CAUTION:
Failure to lubricate die sets and the cone base regularly will cause damage to the die
set and could permanently damage the crimper.
3.
Place the die set in the cone base. Verify that the dies
are properly aligned and that the die holders do not
overlap. Kurt Hydraulics recommends placing the
seam between the two die holders in front of the
crimper in view of the operator.
