PC150 Initial Crimper Setup Follow these steps before using the crimper for the first time Mount the crimper on a sturdy workbench in a well-lit area. The workbench should be able to support the crimper weight of 305 lbs. The crimper should be mounted close enough to the edge of the work surface so that hose will not contact the bench or work surface while crimping.
PC150 Standard and Double Angle Dies Lubrication Procedure Standard Dies Lubrication Double Angle Dies Lubrication Note: This lubrication procedure applies for the Standard Dies and Double Angle Dies. Grease Point # 1 The Pressure Plate or the DBL BASE bottom compression ring must be lubricated after installed into the bottom flange of the crimper.
PC150 Crimping with Standard Dies Caution: Follow the lubrication procedure prior to crimping, failure to lubricate the dies, pressure plate, and compressing ring could result in the die set seizing in the base flange. Step 1. Install the Standard Pressure Plate in the bottom flange making certain that the Pressure Plate is seated squarely in the bottom flange.

PC150 Crimping with Standard Dies Step 6. Slide the Pusher onto the pusher retaining ring on the hydraulic cylinder. Note: Make sure the slot in the pusher goes over the lip on the pusher retaining ring. Caution: Damage to the pusher and retaining ring can occur if they are misaligned. Step 7.
PC150 Crimping with Double Angle Dies Double Angle dies double the radial crimping force of the die set allowing heavier fittings to be crimped. Due to the doubling of the radial crimp force, they are effective for a smaller range of diameters than a standard die set.
PC150 Calibration Check Note: All settings are approximate, for minor adjustment adjust the dial as needed. Due to variations in hose and fitting tolerances, some “offset” may required to achieve the correct crimp diameter for specific hose and fitting combinations across the range of hose and fittings being crimped. If crimp diameters are consistently too large or consistently too small, the crimper should be recalibrated.
Troubleshooting PROBLEM: CRIMPER WILL NOT RUN AT ALL › The white rocker switch is also a circuit breaker. Check to see that the circuit breaker has not been tripped. › Check the wall outlet. Use of extension cords or outlets with inadequate power can damage the motor. Do not run the crimper from a portable power source.
