Innovating SMART Hose Assembly Solutions Since 1979 D105/D165 D-SERIES DRAWER ASSEMBLY / STAND D105-T420 Series Crimper The crimper bolts directly on top of the mounting holes of the D-Series Drawer. Base mounting holes allow the drawer to be bench or Die storage drawer to keep truck bed mounted if required.
Innovating SMART Hose Assembly Solutions Since 1979 FEATURES T420 Micrometer “Micro-Crimp Open design, two piece rubber Built-in adjustable retraction Adjuster” is fully adjustable to caged die set for heavy duty stop limits ram retraction for make precise and repeatable environments and removable quick repetitive crimps.
• Mount the crimper on a sturdy workbench in a well-lit area. Work- bench should be able to support the crimper and components weight. Note: The D105-T420 series crimper can be mounted on the D-Series Drawer/Stand and bolted onto the workbench. (See detailed instruc- tions included with D-Series drawer/stand).
Innovating SMART Hose Assembly Solutions Since 1979 LUBRICATION PROCEDURE Grease Point # 1 Apply a thin layer of CrimpX oil (supplied with the crimper), or a molybdenum disulfide high pressure grease on the surface of the cone base. Photo # 1 (as shown in photo # 1).
Innovating SMART Hose Assembly Solutions Since 1979 CRIMPING WITH STANDARD T420 PRESSURE PLATE Note: Follow the lubrication procedure prior to crimping procedure. CAUTION: Failure to lubricate the die set and T420 pressure plate could result in the die seizing in the cone base. Step 1: Make certain that the Cone Base is clean and lubricated prior to inserting the die set.
