Read and understand the
operator’s manual before
attempting to operate any
equipment.
WARNING
Eaton’s hose and Eaton
hose ttings should only be
assembled using Eaton ap-
proved assembly equipment.
Do not use any combinations
of Eaton’s hose, Eaton hose
ttings, or Eaton assembly
equipment with hose, hose
ttings, or assembly equip-
ment supplied by another
manufacturer.
Eaton hereby disclaims any
obligation or liability (includ-
ing incidental and conse-
quential damages) arising
from breach of contract,
warranty, or tort (under
negligence or strict liability
theories) should Eaton hose,
Eaton hose ttings, or Eaton
assembly equipment be used
with any hose, hose ttings,
or assembly equipment
supplied by another manu-
facturer, or in the event that
product instructions for each
specied hose assembly
are not followed. (Reference
SAE J1273 – Recommended
practice for hydraulic hose
assemblies).
WARNING
Failure to follow Eaton
processes and product
instructions and limitations
could lead to premature hose
assembly failures, resulting
in property damage, serious
injury, or death.
Eaton tting tolerances are
engineering to match Eaton’s
hose tolerances. The combi-
nation or use of Eaton’s hose
and hose ttings supplier by
another manufacturer may
result in the production of
unreliable and/or unsafe hose
assemblies and is neither
recommended nor authorized
by Eaton.
Safety Instructions
1. PREVENT UNAUTHOR-
IZED OPERATION. Do not
permit anyone to operate this
equipment unless they have
read and thoroughly under-
stand 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 anyone, other
than the operator, close to
the equipment while it is in
operation.
4. MAINTAIN DIES WITH
CARE. Dies used in the
ET1000 crimp machine are
sintered powdered metal,
offering the best combination
of strength and wear resis-
tance for long life. Sintered
powdered metal dies are
generally brittle and care
should be taken to avoid any
sharp impact. Never strike a
die with a hardened instru-
ment.
5. USE ONLY SPECIFIED EA-
TON PRODUCTS. Make hose
assemblies using only Eaton
hose and ttings specied for
this assembly equipment.
6. VERIFY CORRECT CRIMP
DIAMETERS. Check and ver-
ify correct crimp diameters
of all ttings after crimping.
Do not put any hose assem-
blies into service if the crimp
diameters do not meet Eaton
crimp specications.
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 PRES-
SURIZE. 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 Mate-
rial Handling Institute Speci-
cation #IJ100 for hydraulic
jacking applications.
9. DIE CHANGE. DO NOT
INSERT/REMOVE DIES
WHILE THE POWER IS ON
OR MACHINE IS IN OPERA-
TION.
10. SECURE THE EQUIP-
MENT 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 AREA
CLEAN. Cluttered areas and
benches invite accidents
