Safety Precautions SAFETY PRECAUTIONS • READ INSTRUCTIONS AND IDENTIFY ALL COMPONENT PARTS BEFORE USING CRIMPER. • CRIMPER CAN PRODUCE 340 TONS OF FORCE. KEEP BOTH HANDS AWAY FROM PINCH POINTS. • CONSULT THE CONTINENTAL CONTITECH CRIMP SPECIFICATION MANUAL FOR CORRECT CRIMPER SETTINGS AND CRIMP MEASUREMENTS.

Initial Crimper Setup Follow these steps before using the crimper for the first time › Review instructions and identify all component parts before using crimper. › Crimper can produce 340 tons of force. › Keep both hands away from pinch points. ›...
Intermediate Die Installation Both industrial and hydraulic dies are available for this crimper. Industrial dies are inserted directly into the master dies and hydraulic dies require an intermediate die. When using only hydraulic dies, removal of the in- termediate dies should not be required. The ID of the intermediate die must match the OD of the hydraulic die, or accurate crimps are not possible.
Hydraulic Die Installation › Install Intermediate Adapter Dies as shown previously making certain that the Intermediate Adapter Die I.D. matches the Hydraulic Die O.D. › Bring the crimper head to fully opened position as shown in photo #1. › Install the Hydraulic Dies with the quick change tool as shown in photo #2.
Manual Back Stop Setup The Manual Back Stop eliminates guesswork, allowing the Coupling Stop operator to visually observe exactly where the crimp will be positioned on the fitting without the need for trial and error and Coupling Stop product scrap due to poor crimp positioning. Clamp With the Manual Back Stop retracted, load the appropriate set of dies and set crimp diameters as required.
Calibration Check The PC200M Crimper is calibrated at factory using the correct hose, fitting, and die set outlined in the Continental ContiTech Crimp Specifications Manual. Note: All settings are approximate, for minor adjustment adjust the dial as needed. Due to variations in hose and fitting tolerances, some “offset” may required to achieve the correct crimp diameter for specific hose and fitting combinations across the range of hose and fittings being crimped.
Lubrication Procedure & Maintenance Notes: › Use the mini grease gun with flush fitting adapter with grease (supplied with the crimper) as shown in photo #1 or a high-pressure moly grade grease can be used as well. › Failure to lubricate the crimper can cause premature failure, loss of accuracy and may result in damage to the crimper.
Troubleshooting PROBLEM: CRIMPER RUNS BUT IS SLOW OR NON-FUNCTIONAL • Check supply voltage to see that it matches the voltage specified on the tag attached to the crimper. • If the crimper is connected to a three phase circuit, check all three legs of the circuit to be certain that all legs are hot.
