General Production Hose Crimper
11
Proper lubrication is essential to prevent damage to the machine and to
assure accurate crimping.
• Use the mini grease gun with flush fitting adapter with grease (supplied
with the crimper) or a high-pressure moly grade grease can be used
as well.
• Failure to lubricate the crimper can cause premature failure, loss of
accuracy and may result in damage to the crimper.
• Lubricate the crimping head after each 250 - 400 crimping
cycles or at the start of each shift if the crimper is used in a
production setting.
To begin, first bring the master dies to the fully opened position and
lubricate the die fingers through the 8 lubrication fittings in the front
flange face.
Next, bring the master dies to the fully closed position, and lubricate the
master dies through the 8 lubrication fittings again.
Note:
Use only a high-quality moly-disulfide grease. Failure to do so may
result in damage to the wearing surfaces.
Front flange bolts:
Periodically, every 6-12 months depending upon
usage, the front flange bolt torque should be checked. The correct torque
is 199NM (147 ft-lbs).
The Protective Master Die Foam Pads: Periodically
you need to check them for dirt, oil, and other debris.
The protective pads
(as shown in photo #3) should be replaced if damaged,
missing, or not retracting properly.
