Innovating SMART Hose Assembly Solutions Since 1979 FEATURES Metric Micrometer “Micro-Crimp Open design, two piece “slide Built-in adjustable retraction Adjuster” is fully adjustable to in” die set and removable stop limits ram retraction for make precise and repeatable pusher allows the operator to quick repetitive crimps.
Innovating SMART Hose Assembly Solutions Since 1979 INITIAL SET UP FOLLOW THESE STEPS BEFORE YOU USE THE CRIMPER FOR THE FIRST TIME. • Mount the crimper on a sturdy workbench in a well-lit area. Workbench should be able to support the crimper and components weight. Note: The D165 series can be mounted on the D-Series Drawer/Stand and bolted onto the workbench.

Innovating SMART Hose Assembly Solutions Since 1979 INITIAL SET UP • Check electrical circuit to be certain that it matches the crimper requirements shown on the voltage tag attached to the crimper cord. • Plug the D165 crimper directly into a 110 volt, 15 amp wall outlet. Note: The optional 220 volts / 2HP unit must be connected to a 220 volts 20 amp wall outlet.
Innovating SMART Hose Assembly Solutions Since 1979 LUBRICATION PROCEDURE Grease Point # 1 Insert the pressure plate into the bottom flange of the crimper, making sure that it is seated squarely into the bottom flange. Place a thin layer of CrimpX oil (supplied with crimper) or a high Photo # 1 pressure molybdenum high pressure grease on the surface the dies sit on (as shown in photo # 1).
Innovating SMART Hose Assembly Solutions Since 1979 CRIMPING WITH STANDARD COMPRESSION RING Note: Follow the lubrication procedure prior to crimping procedure. NOTE: FAILURE TO LUBRICATE THE DIE SET AND COMPRESSION RING COULD RESULT IN THE DIE SET SEIZING IN THE BASE FLANGE. Step 1: Insert the pressure plate into the bottom flange of the crimper, making sure that it is seated squarely into the bottom flange.

Innovating SMART Hose Assembly Solutions Since 1979 CRIMPING WITH STANDARD COMPRESSION RING Step 4: Place the Lubricated Die Set squarely in the pressure plate. Step 5: Align the Fitting in the die set according to the hose and fitting manufacturer’s recommendation. Step 6: Place the Lubricated Compression Ring over the die set and compress the die set by hand to hold the hose and fitting in place.

Innovating SMART Hose Assembly Solutions Since 1979 CRIMPING WITH STANDARD COMPRESSION RING Step 8: Set the Micro-Crimp Adjuster to the setting recommended by the hose and fitting manufacturer for the combination of hose and fitting being crimped. NOTE: The Metric Micro-Crimp Adjuster is a direct reading micrometer.
Innovating SMART Hose Assembly Solutions Since 1979 CRIMPING WITH NOTCHED COMPRESSION RING WHEN USING THE NOTCHED COMPRESSION RING, FOR USE WITH 90 DEGREE FITTING ONLY, FOLLOW THESE PROCEDURES: Note: Follow the lubrication procedure prior to crimping procedure. CAUTION: Failure to lubricate the die set and notched compression ring could result in the die seizing in the base flange.

Innovating SMART Hose Assembly Solutions Since 1979 CRIMPING WITH NOTCHED COMPRESSION RING Step 10: Check the final crimp diameter with calipers to confirm that it is within manufacturer’s specifications. Note: Always consult with your hose and fitting manufacturer to obtain the must current crimp specifications.
Innovating SMART Hose Assembly Solutions Since 1979 CALIBRATION CHECK PROCEDURE THE CRIMPER IS CALIBRATED PRIOR TO SHIPMENT, BUT A CALIBRATION CHECK IS RECOMMENDED PRIOR TO USING THE CRIMPER FOR THE FIRST TIME. Note: Follow the lubrication procedure prior to calibration check. NOTE: FAILURE TO LUBRICATE THE DIE SET AND COMPRESSION RING COULD RESULT IN THE DIE SET SEIZING IN THE BASE FLANGE.

Innovating SMART Hose Assembly Solutions Since 1979 CALIBRATION CHECK PROCEDURE Step 4: Slide the Pusher onto the pusher retaining ring on the hydraulic cylinder. Note: Make sure slot in pusher goes over lip on pusher retaining ring. Refer to page 13 for details if needed. CAUTION: Damage to pusher and retaining ring can occur if misaligned.
Page 21
Innovating SMART Hose Assembly Solutions Since 1979 CALIBRATION CHECK PROCEDURE Step 7: If the above conditions are not met, the crimper requires recalibration, hold the micrometer barrel with a 5/16 inch open end wrench and rotate the stem either in or out with a 5/32 inch hex key wrench. Note: 1/4 turn of screw will change crimp diameter approximately 0.008".

Innovating SMART Hose Assembly Solutions Since 1979 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. The crimper comes from the factory wired for a 115 volt single phase circuit. Use of extension cords or outlets with inadequate power can damage the motor.
