After installing the proper die set and adjusting the crimping diameter, insert the hose and fitting between 

the dies.  

 

Depress and hold down the crimping push-button until the preset diameter has been reached.  

 

Depress the retraction button and take the crimped assembly out.  

 

Check the  result  and  measure  the diameter. If necessary, correct the scale value and crimp again. To enable 

faster crimping and reliable results in the future, make a chart of the diverse hose/fitting combinations and 

the corresponding die sets and dial adjustment values.  

 

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE 

The  following  maintenance  operations  can  be  performed  by  the  operator  according  to  the  instructions  below. 

However, electrical works and repairs like changing seals or the pump must only be carried out by a qualified specialist. 

• PRIOR TO ANY SERVICING OPERATION, TURN THE SUPPLY DISCONNECTING DEVICE TO POSITION '0'.

 

• BEFORE CHANGING THE MOTOR CIRCUIT BREAKER OR UNDERVOLTAGE TRIP, DISCONNECT THE PLUG OR SUPPLY 

CABLE FROM THE MAINS ! 

• Ope

n the dies to maximum retraction before servicing. 

Greasing P20, P32  

 

Lubricate the inner surface of the conical flanges daily with pressure-proof grease like Optimol Viscogen 4.  

 

Apply the grease to the conical surfaces at the front and back of the die with a small brush.  

 

Do not grease the piston rod.  

 

Lubricate the master dies daily with pressure-proof grease like Optimol Viscogen 4.
