ET4001 Crimp machine operator´s manual  W-EQCR-TM022-E3  March 2019

Operating instructions  

Using ET4000AR-002 for 

heavy 4-wire and 6-wire fittings 

(-20 thru -32 collets) 

1. OPEN the pusher halves.
NOTE: Lubricate the inside 

cone of the base adapter 

ring and external surfaces 

of the collet assembly 

with a high-efficiency PTFE 

based lubricant (T-400-G).

2. PULL the pusher tab 

upward. The pusher tab 

is located behind the top 

of the pushers at the 

back of the machine.

3. SLIDE pushers to side 

while holding the pusher 

tab up.

4. PULL spacer ring locator 

bracket upward. TURN 

the locator bracket 90˚.

5. REMOVE the base 

adapter ring from base 

plate and PLACE the 

ET4000AR-002 base 

adapter ring inside the 

base plate.

   NOTE: Lubricate the 

outside diameter of 

base adapter ring before 

placing into the base 

plate.

6.  TURN locator bracket 90˚ 

until aligned properly.

7.  SELECT the proper 

collet assembly for hose 

type being crimped as 

referenced in the crimp 

specifications manual or 

chart and insert the collet 

assembly into the base 

adapter ring.

   NOTE: Lubricate the 

inside cone of the base 

adapter ring and external 

surfaces of the collet 

assembly with a high-

efficiency PTFE-based 

lubricant (T-400-G).

8. INSERT the hose 

assembly through 

the bottom of the 

base adapter ring and 

between the two collet 

assembly halves. To 

achieve a full flat crimp 

for 4SP/6SP fittings, 

locate the bottom of the 

socket approximately 

1

/

8

" 

(3mm) from the bottom 

edge of the collet halves 

as referenced in Eaton 

crimp specifications.

9.   CLOSE the pusher 

halves and begin 

crimping by activating the 

pump with turning on the 

switch. When the pusher 

halves or spacer ring (if 

applicable) contacts the 

base adapter ring, the 

crimp is complete.

10.  RELEASE the switch 

and the pusher will stop. 

Move the switch to the 

RETRACT position to 

return the pusher. OPEN 

the pusher halves and 

remove the crimped 

hose assembly. 

11.  Visually inspect the crimp 

and verify the correct 

crimp diameter and 

crimp length.

  Refer to safety information regarding Eaton hose,  

hose fittings, and assembly compatibility on page 2. 

Eye protection required when press and pump are  

in use.
NOTE: Based on the fitting style, correctly align the fitting 

with the top of the collet.
