Tech Tip Hydraulics Legal Notice U.S.A. and Canada Mexico Contact PC125 Lubrication Tech Tip The PC125 portable crimper is designed for higher production volume and repetitive use with its open design, removable pusher and easy-to-use, spring-loaded die set. In order to maintain its high performance, lubricating the various components of the crimper in key grease point areas is crucial. See below for instructions: Grease Point 1 Insert the pressure plate into the bottom flange of the crimper, making sure that it is seated squarely into the bottom flange. Place a thin layer of CrimpX oil (supplied with crimper), or a high-pressure molybdenum grease, on the surface the dies sit on (as shown in Figure 1). Grease Point 2 Before sliding the notched compression ring over the correct dies, place a thin layer of CrimpX oil (supplied with crimper), or a high-pressure molybdenum grease, on the entire area that dies come in contact with on the inner diameter (as shown in Figure 2). If the die screws are breaking often, continue to lubricate/grease as explained above in addition to lubricating each die finger individually (as shown in Figure 3). Please note, the die fingers must be lubricated at both positions that come in contact with the pressure plate and the notched compression ring.
