IF THE MACHING DOES NOT WORK . . .
If the motor doesn’t start up
1. To start up the machine, turn the switch completely to the left (0) and then to the upright
position (I).
2. If the problem is not disappearing, contact the service.
If the motor starts up but the dies don’t move
1. Check the rotation of the motor.
2. Check the oil level.
3. Check that the dies are not already in close- or retraction position.
If the machine leaks oil
1. A new machine might leak a small amount of rust protection oil under the cylinder or under the
machine.
2. When the machine has been filled up with oil, some oil might have leaked inside the machine
and then slowly under the machine.
3. If the machine is in continuous use, some oil (0,1dl) might pass the seals and leak under the
cylinder when the machine is stopped or when changing the die sets.
If the machine’s power is not enough
1. The lack of power might be caused by dry sliding surfaces. Grease the machine.
2. Check that the coupling or the piece you are crimping is the size that the machine can crimp.
The machine’s pressure relief valve opens and the dies stop when the maximum power of the
machine has been reached.
3. If the dies open up in normal speed but close slower and the machine is lacking crimping
power, there is dirt in the hydraulic system which causes a leak in the valve. The hydraulic
system of the machine has to be cleaned and the valves either cleaned or changed.
4. The pressure relief valve of the machine has been adjusted at the factory. Do not open or
adjust this valve in any way. If you suspect that the valve is not working properly, contact the
seller of the machine.
5. Make sure that there is oil enough in the tank.
If you contact the manufacturer or the distributor
If the above measures do not help or machine with other problems, contact your service
about the operating or service-problems, remember to give
your crimping machine’s serial number and the type of the control.
