LOCATION PREPARATION
SELECT LOCATION
Before you unpack the crimper, decide where it will go. Choose
a location where the operator can have access to the front, rear
and left side. Bent (e.g. 90 degree) couplings must be loaded from
the rear of the crimper head. Note there is an indentation in the
front flange is designed to accommodate these couplings during
crimping.
UNPACK OPTIONAL STAND CARTON (if purchased)
Uncrate stand (Part No. 78829, Product No. 7480-7002) and
unbolt from pallet. To attach tool shelf, remove Allen head bolts
from top of stand, position shelf and replace bolts.
Position stand to allow front, left side, and rear access to the
crimper. Stand should be bolted to floor.
ERGONOMIC STAND ADJUSTMENT
Adjust height of stand to suit hose feed method (i.e. bench fed or
hand fed).
If hose is hand fed, the bottom of the hose should be level with the
operator’s elbows when standing upright. Operator should have a
straight back during crimping to avoid injury from handling heavy
hose assemblies. It is approximately twenty inches from the top of
the stand to the center of the crimper head. If this is comfortable,
no adjustment is needed. If this is too high or too low, adjust height
of stand by setting stand on its side and removing leg bolts. Raise
or lower legs to comfortable height. Replace bolts and tighten. If
optional die racks were purchased, place in bottom of stand or
hang on the wall.
If using the stand, bolt crimper using the four 6mm (1/4") Allen
head bolts (included) through predrilled holes. If mounting to a
bench, drill four 1/2" holes aligning with holes in crimper and bolt
together. Proper crimping height is approximately 32".
