Setup and Operation
Follow these steps for proper setup and operation of your hydraulic hose crimper:
- Select the Correct Die: Identify the appropriate crimping die size for your hose and fitting. The dies are color-coded and marked with their respective sizes (e.g., #6, #8, #10, #12).

- Insert Die and Close Jaw: Place the selected die into the crimper's jaw. Ensure it snaps securely into place. Insert the retaining pin to secure the die, then close the jaw.
- Position Hose and Fitting: Carefully position the hose and fitting within the crimping die. Ensure the fitting is seated correctly and the hose is aligned for a proper crimp.
- Turn Tool Body Clockwise: Rotate the body of the tool clockwise to bring the crimping jaws closer to the hose and fitting.
- Turn Valve to Work Position: Locate the hydraulic valve (typically a knob or lever) and turn it to the "Work" or "Close" position to engage the hydraulic system.
- Pump the Handle: Begin pumping the handle repeatedly until the crimping process is complete and the dies meet firmly around the fitting. Do not over-crimp.

- Release Pressure: Once crimping is complete, turn the hydraulic valve to the "Open" or "Release" position to relieve pressure.
- Remove Crimped Assembly: Open the crimper jaws and carefully remove the newly crimped hose and fitting.

Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your hydraulic crimper:
- Cleaning: After each use, wipe down the tool and dies with a clean, dry cloth to remove any debris or residue.
- Lubrication: Periodically apply a light coat of machine oil to the moving parts, such as the jaws and pin, to ensure smooth operation and prevent rust.
- Storage: Always store the crimper and its dies in the provided carrying case in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
- Inspection: Before each use, inspect the tool for any signs of wear, damage, or loose components. Do not use if damage is found.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your hydraulic crimper, consider the following common solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Crimper not building pressure | Hydraulic valve not fully closed; low hydraulic fluid. | Ensure the hydraulic valve is fully turned to the "Work" position. If problem persists, consult a professional for hydraulic fluid check/refill. |
| Dies not closing completely | Incorrect die size for fitting; obstruction in jaws. | Verify the correct die size is selected. Inspect jaws for debris and clean if necessary. |
| Difficulty removing crimped hose | Pressure not fully released. | Ensure the hydraulic valve is fully turned to the "Open" or "Release" position. |
