PROBLEM: CRIMPER WILL NOT RUN AT ALL
• The white rocker switch is also a circuit breaker. Check to see that the circuit breaker has not been
tripped
• Check the wall outlet. The crimper comes from the factory wired for a 115 volt single phase circuit.
Use of extension cords or outlets with inadequate power can damage the motor . Do not run the
crimper from a portable power source.
• Check the stop switch mounted to the switch bracket under the Micro-Crimp Adjuster. This is a nor-
mally closed switch and if it does not close the crimper will not operate.
CAUTION: Do not operate the crimper with this switch jumpered as the pump will not shut
off and the brackets can be damaged.
• Check the pneumatically actuated switch in the electrical box mounted on the motor. This switch
controls power to the motor and is actuated with air pressure from the pendant switch bulb.
PROBLEM: CRIMP DIAMETER TOO LARGE
Incorrect setting of the Micro-Crimp Adjuster. Check crimp specifi cations.
•
(NOTE: All published machine settings are approximate. To correct for slight variances, the gauge settings
may need to be adjusted for the specifi c hose, fi tting and size combination.)
Incorrect die being used. Each die has a useable range of approximately 3mm (.120 in) above the
•
closed diameter of the die. The closed diameter is the die size stamped on the die ring.
Check crimper calibration and re-calibrate if required.
•
Inadequate pump pressure. Check oil level in the pump. It should be 1-1/2 to 2 inches below the fi ll
•
plug and should be showing in the sight glass window. Fill with ISO 46 weight hydraulic oil if required.
Inadequate lubrication of the dies and compression ring causing the pump to work harder than normal
•
to reach the required diameter. Use only the grease shipped with the machine or equivalent.
Inadequate pressure being generated by the pump. This is most likely if the crimper can crimp the smaller
•
size hoses and not the larger hoses. When correctly adjusted, the pump should generate approximately
10,000 psi.
Do Not adjust pump to produce in excess of 10,000 psi as damage to components or personal
injury may result.
No pressure being generated by the pump. There should be a defi nite change in pitch of the pump as
•
it cycles into high pressure mode and begins to "work" harder.
PROBLEM: CRIMP DIAMETER TOO SMALL
Incorrect setting of the Micro-Crimp Adjuster. Check crimp specifi cations.
•
( NOTE: All published machine settings are approximate. To correct for slight variances, the gauge set-
tings may be adjusted for the specifi c hose, fi tting and size combination.)
Incorrect die being used (See die range under Crimp Diameter too Large)
•
Check crimp diameter and re-calibrate if necessary
•
PROBLEM: DIES STICKING IN COMPRESSION CONE
Inadequate lubrication of the compression cone and die surfaces. Use only the grease shipped with
•
the machine or equivalent.
