GC16XD MINI CRIMPER & PUMP SAFETY & OPERATION MANUAL

Press and hold the pump power switch. The crimper will close down to the 

position set while the center stem will rise on the dial vernier. Release the 

switch once the stem becomes flush with the front face of the dial vernier. 

Stopping the pump will allow the oil to return back to the tank and the head 

will open.

Remove the assembly from the machine and measure across the flats of 

the crimped area. This should read 1.000”. If the measurement does not 

read 1.000” (+/- .003) then the micro adjuster needs to move until the               

COD is correct.

Micro Adjustment

Loosen lock nut on back of micro adjuster using 8mm wrench. (It does not 

need to be removed) Do this while holding a 2.5mm Allen key in micro adjuster 

to ensure it does not rotate.

Use a 2.5 mm allen key to rotate micro adjuster following instructions on last 

page to reach desired adjustment. When adjustment made tighten up lock nut 

with Allen key still in micro adjuster ensuring it does not rotate.

Crimp the same hose again to check calibration. If crimper still not accurate 

rotate micro adjuster as per chart until final diameter achieved.
