DIRECTIONS FOR USE
Before starting the crimping operations, carefully read the following sections of this manual:
Machine characteristics
•
Routine maintenance
•
Safety regulations
•
Preliminary inspections
•
Lighting
•
Fitting and replacing dies
•
Determine the desired final crimping diameter, which is usually indicated by the
manufacturer of the fittings.
When adjusting the final crimping diameter, take into account that every millimeter by
which the knurled hand wheel (item 1 in Figure 3) is turned on the millimeter rule (item 3
E
in Figure 3) corresponds to a variation in the die diameter of 6.1 mm when closed. When
N
G
the knurled hand wheel is set to zero on the millimeter rule, it is possible to determine the
L
rated diameter of the die (punched on it). Each step of the knurled hand wheel
I
corresponds to ± 0.1 mm of the diameter (item 2 in Figure 3).

Example: to obtain a final crimping diameter of 21 mm, you need to use 19 type dies. As
Insert the hose with the pre-assembled fitting and bushing between the dies.
Close the oil check valve by turning it clockwise and start pumping in manual mode until
the dies come into contact with the bushing.
After adjusting the crimping diameter, start the manual pump so that the indicator light on
the front side of the machine lights when the final crimping diameter is reached.
Slowly open the oil check valve by turning it in counterclockwise in order to allow the
piston to move back.
the difference between the two diameters is 2 mm, the knurled wheel must be
fully turned for two full revolutions so that it is positioned on number "2" of
the millimeter rule.
Attention: a sudden opening of the valve can cause an oil leakage from
the filling cap.
ATTENTION! If the warning light turns on, stop the pump to avoid
damaging the limit switch adjustment system.
