Operating Instructions

Select proper crimp cage for style and size of desired hose. Refer to

Danfoss PowerSource Crimp Spec Tool at danfoss.com/crimp for com-

plete and detailed crimp specification information for each hose and

fitting style. To load the die cage, extend the crimp ring to its fullest

length by releasing the hydraulic pressure from the power source (Fig-

ure 1). The die cage may be inserted or removed in this position.

Figure 1

The three-digit micrometer display setting determines the crimp

diameter for each combination of hose, fitting and crimp cage. The

three-digit value is not the desired crimp diameter, but rather a setting.

Refer to the table listed in the back of this manual for target settings for

popular MatchMate Plus hoses. These target settings are provided to

aid in establishing actual settings.

The ratio of micrometer display change to crimp diameter change is

approximately 2 to 1. For example, if a fitting is crimped at a microme-

ter display setting of 438, and the crimp diameter is .025 too large, the

micrometer should be increased by 050 ( 2 x .025 ) to 488 in order to

produce the correct crimp diameter.
