7 feet of a 110 Volt AC outlet. 2. Lift the crimper onto the located worktable. Due to the weight of the crimper, Kurt Hydraulics recommends lifting the crimper by mechanical means at the top of the single handle. When lifted by this handle, the crimper will be balanced. -
Page 6: Hose Preparation
HOSE PREPARATION 1. Kurt Hydraulics recommends that all KH60 crimper users familiarize themselves with all warning statements, SAE J1273 standards, the technical guide in the Kurt Hydraulics Catalog, and this Operator’s Manual. 2. Select the hose and coupling assembly. 3. Reference the latest Kurt Hydraulics crimp specification which can be found at www.kurthydraulics.com, by contacting technical support at 1-866-257-7995, or sending a... -
Page 7: Crimping
Insure the interior of the hose is free of cuttings, dirt or other debris. Obtain the Kurt Hydraulics crimp specifications. 1. Consult the Kurt Hydraulics crimp specification for the KH60 to determine the proper die set for the chosen hose and coupling combination. - Page 8 Coupling without crimp location markings: Refer to the Kurt Hydraulics crimp specification for die position. 5. Manually place the pusher donut on top of the die set with the clearance slot facing forward to the operator.
- Page 9 Take four (4) measurements around the coupling and average the measurements. Refer to the Kurt Hydraulics crimp specification to confirm crimp diameter is in tolerance.

Page 10: Calibration Check
8. For the KH-60-P Series: If the line is just visible as shown in the illustration after the dies are completely closed and pressure has built up in the hydraulic cylinder the crimper is correctly calibrated. -

3. Re-tighten the jam nut to secure the position of the stem foot. 4. Make another crimp to measure and verify that the average crimp diameter is within the Kurt Hydraulics crimp specification. If it is, the crimper is calibrated. If not, repeat steps 1-5 until a crimp within tolerance is obtained. - Page 12 IMPORTANT NOTICE CONCERNING MICROMETER GAUGE ADJUSTMENTS: Due to the same reasons as described above, finished crimp diameters may not match Kurt Hydraulics recommended gauge settings. Published micrometer gauge settings are provided only as guidelines. To correct for slight variances, the micrometer gauge setting may be adjusted only for individual hose and coupling combinations when all other hose and coupling combinations crimp within allowed tolerance from the Kurt Hydraulics specification.

3. Kurt Hydraulics recommends checking crimper calibration often and regularly using a dial caliper of micrometer. If the machine consistently crimps out of specification, see the “CALIBRATION CHECK” section in this manual. 4. If repair of the KH60 crimper is needed, contact Kurt Hydraulics at 1-866-257-7995... -
