before attempting to operate any equipment.
! WARNING
Aeroquip hose, hose fittings and assembly
equipment should be used only with other
Aeroquip hose, hose fittings and assembly
equipment and Weatherhead hose, hose
fittings and assembly equipment should
be used only with Weatherhead hose, hose
fittings and assembly equipment. Do not
combine or use Aeroquip or Weatherhead
hose, hose fittings and assembly equipment
with each other, i.e. Aeroquip hose with
Weatherhead fittings, or with hose, hose
fittings or assembly equipment supplied by
another manufacturer.
Danfoss hereby disclaims any obligation or
liability (including incidental and consequen-
tial damages) arising from breach of contract,
warranty, or tort (under negligence or strict
liability theories) should Aeroquip or Weath-
erhead hose fittings or assembly equipment
be used interchangeably or with any hose,
fittings or assembly equipment supplied by
another manufacturer, or in the event that
product instructions for each specified hose
assembly are not followed.
! WARNING
Failure to follow process and product instruc-
tions and limitations could lead to premature
hose assembly failures, resulting in property
damage, serious injury or death. Aeroquip and
Weatherhead fitting tolerances are engineered
to match Aeroquip and Weatherhead hose tol-

erances. The combination or use of Aeroquip
or Weatherhead hose and hose fittings with
each other, i.e. Aeroquip hose with Weather-
head fittings, or with hose or fittings supplied
by another manufacturer may result in the
production of unreliable and/or unsafe hose
assemblies and is neither recommended or
authorized by Danfoss.
Safety Instructions
1. PREVENT UNAUTHORIZED OPERATION.
Do not permit anyone to operate this
equipment unless they have read and
thoroughly understand this manual.
2. WEAR SAFETY GLASSES.
3. AVOID PINCH POINTS. Do not rest your
hand on the crimp ring. Keep your hands
clear of all moving parts. Do not allow any-
one, other than the operator, close to the
equipment while it is in operation.
4. MAINTAIN DIES WITH CARE. Dies used in
the ET1187 crimp machine are hardened
steel, offering the best combination of
strength and wear resistance for long life.
Hardened dies are generally brittle and
care should be taken to avoid any sharp
impact. Never strike a die with a hard-
ened instrument.
5. USE ONLY SPECIFIED AEROQUIP/
WEATHERHEAD PRODUCTS. Make hose
assemblies using only Aeroquip and
Weatherhead hose and fittings specified
for this assembly equipment.
6. VERIFY CORRECT CRIMP DIAMETERS.
Check and verify correct crimp diameters
of all fittings after crimping. Do not put
any hose assemblies into service if the
crimp diameters do not meet Danfoss
crimp specifications.
7. Make sure all dies are completely in
place, the spacer ring rests against the
placement pins, and the pusher is pulled
forward into the detent position before
crimping.
8. DO NOT OVER PRESSURIZE. Do not exceed
the 10,000 psi hydraulic pressure supplied
to the machine.
NOTE: All components used to connect
the pump and crimp cylinder must meet
the criteria set forth in the Material Han-
dling Institute Specification #IJ100 for
hydraulic jacking applications.
9. DIE CHANGE. DO NOT INSERT/REMOVE
DIES WHILE THE POWER IS ON OR
MACHINE IS IN OPERATION.
10. SECURE THE EQUIPMENT TO A STABLE
WORK SURFACE. Prior to operation, secure
the crimp machine to a stable work
surface to prevent the equipment from
tipping.
11. UNPLUG THE POWER SUPPLY WHEN NOT
IN USE.
12. KEEP WORK AREACLEAN. Cluttered areas
and benches invite accidents.
