PC150H Crimping Procedure
Caution:
Follow the lubrication procedure prior to crimping, failure to do so may
result in premature wear and possible damage to the master dies and piston
surfaces.
Step 1.
Set the dial micrometer at “0”, fully open the master die before installing
the die set into your crimper, then turn the valve in the “hold” position.
Step 2.
Select the correct die set for the combination of hose and fitting being
crimped. The correct die set can be found in the Continental ContiTech Crimp
Specification Manual.
Step 3.
Use the quick-change tool, to place the die set into the crimper. Then
slowly hold and press the green button or the pneumatic switch to close the
crimper head, making sure that the retaining pins enter the location holes in the
master die. The die will click into place when it is properly positioned. Withdraw
the quick change tool when the head is fully close
Step 4.
Then, turn the valve to the “Release” position. This will cause the master
die to return to the fully open position.
