Electrical Schematic ........................14-15 Obsolate Data Notice The calibration method for some early model crimp machines used fittings that are no longer supplied by Danfoss Corporation. Therefore, some of the data on the following pages may be considered obsolete, such as machine settings (i.e. 1401 socket data).
Introduction The Danfoss FT1244 Crimp Machine is designed for the distributor or O.E.M. who needs production style crimping capacity. The FT1244 is a hydraulically operated machine that will crimp Danfoss standard crimp fittings; -3 through -32*, including four spiral hose. The FT1244 will crimp both straight and standard elbow fitting assemblies.
Preoperation Procedures CAUTION: THIS MACHINE IS TOP HEAVY! Uncrate the FT1244 crimp machine and inspect the machine for possible shipping damage. The following components are in the tool box. 1 can of high efficiency PTFE grease (Danfoss part number FF91455)
Select the crimp dies specified in the PowerSource Crimp Spec Tool at danfoss.com/crimp for the selected hose style and size. Liberally lubricate all sliding surfaces of the crimp dies with high efficiency PTFE grease (Danfoss part number T-400-G). Do not lubricate the crimping surface of the dies.

The crimp diameter specifications are listed in the PowerSource Crimp Spec Tool at danfoss.com/crimp for crimp spec details. The exact micrometer settings may vary from one machine to another due to manufacturing tolerances. Furnished in the back of this manual is a sheet of approximate micrometer settings for the first crimp.

(the socket is precrimped to the nipple to establish the required crimp length). Refer to the PowerSource Crimp Spec Tool at danfoss.com/crimp for crimp spec details which outlines the required crimping information. Scribe a mark on the socket at the nipple end at the desired dimension as indicated in the PowerSource Crimp Spec Tool at danfoss.com/crimp for crimp spec details.
Maintenance Normal maintenance of the FT1244 crimp machine requires a light film of oil coating over all the exposed black surfaces, crimp ring die, contact surface lubricated with high efficiency PTFE grease (Danfoss part number T-400-G), and a maintained oil level within the hydraulic power unit oil reservoir (one inch below the top of the reservoir).
