FEATURES
Automatic stop
switch shuts the
pump o when
the crimp cycle
is complete.
Built-in adjustable retraction
stop limits ram retraction for
quick repetitive crimps.
An easily removable Coupling
Stop makes repetitive crimps
faster by not having to visually
align the tting before each
crimp.
Easy calibration adjustment to
increase or decrease the crimp
OD.
Micrometer with “Micro-Crimp
Adjuster” is fully adjustable to
make precise and repeatable
crimps.
Open design, two piece rubber
caged die sets for heavy duty
environments, and removable
pusher, allow the operator to
accurately position the tting
prior to crimping.

FOLLOW THESE STEPS BEFORE YOU USE THE CRIMPER
FOR THE FIRST TIME.
• Mount the crimper on a sturdy workbench in a well-lit area.
Workbench should be able to support the crimper and component
weight.
• The crimper should be mounted close enough to the edge of the
work surface so that the hose being crimped will not contact the
bench or work surface. There must be enough clearance for the
hose to align perpendicular with the cone base, or the dies will not
seat properly and the crimp will not be accurate.
• Always check the oil level in the K300 pump, it should be 1-1/2"
to 2" inches below the vent plug when the cylinder is in the retracted
position and it should be visible in the sight glass window of the
pump reservoir.
• If oil needs to be added use ISO 46 weight hydraulic oil.
• Oil can be drained from the rear oil port of the reservoir.
• Check to be certain that the shipping plug in the pump reservoir
has been replaced with the vent plug shipped with the K300 crimper.
• Check the electrical circuit to be certain that it matches the crimper
requirements shown on the voltage tag attached to the crimper cord.
• Plug the K300 crimper directly into a 110 volt, 15 amp wall outlet.
Note: The optional 220 volt / 2HP unit must be connected to a 220
volt 20 amp wall outlet.
Note: Do not use an extension cord.

Photo # 1
Photo # 2
Photo # 3
Grease Point # 1
Apply a thin layer of CrimpX oil (supplied with the
crimper), or a molybdenum disulde high pressure
grease on the surface of the cone base.
(as shown in photo # 1).
Grease Point # 2
Before sliding the standard pressure plate (or the notched
pressure plate) over the correct dies, apply a thin layer of
CrimpX oil (supplied with the crimper), or a molybdenum
disulde high pressure grease, on the entire area that the
dies come in contact with (as shown in photo # 2).
If dies are sticking on the surface of the cone base:
Continue to lubricate / grease as explained above, in addition
to lubricating each die nger individually.
(as shown in photo # 3).
Note: The die ngers must be lubricated at both positions
that come in contact with the pressure plate and the
bottom ange.
Note: Lubrication is not required before each crimp.
Typical lubrication is after 100 crimp cycles.
LUBRICATION PROCEDURE
Notched Pressure Plate:
For use with 90 degree ttings only.

Note: Follow the lubrication procedure prior to crimping.
CAUTION: Failure to lubricate the die set and 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.
Step 2: Select the Correct Die Set for the combination of hose and
tting being crimped.
Note: Consult your hose and tting manufacturer for the correct die size
for the combination of hose and tting being crimped.
Note: The number etched on the OD of the die ring represents the fully
closed diameter of the die set in millimeters. In addition, rubber caged
die sets are color-coded for easier identication.
Step 3: Lubricate the contact surfaces, both the top and the outside
edges of the die ngers, with CrimpX oil (supplied with the crimper), or
a molybdenum disulde high pressure grease.
Failure to lubricate the contact surfaces with the correct lubricant
will cause the dies to seize in the cone base, causing damage
to the die set as well as possibly damaging the crimper.

Step 4: Place the Lubricated Die Set squarely in the cone base.
Note: Make sure the split of the die cages is facing the operator.
(as shown).
Step 6: Place the Lubricated Standard Pressure Plate over the die set.
Step 5: Align the tting in the die set according to the hose and tting
manufacturer’s recommendation.
Note: Compress the die set by hand to hold the hose and tting in place.

Note: Make sure the pusher is positioned correctly as shown.
Step 7: Slide the Pusher onto the pusher retaining ring on the hydraulic
cylinder.
Note: Make sure the slot in the pusher goes over the lip on the pusher
retaining ring.
CAUTION: Damage to the pusher and retaining ring can occur if they
are misaligned.
