GENERAL
P16 HP is a manually operated hydraulic crimping machine for one-off production of hose assemblies e.g. in repair
shops. This hand-operated machine works even in places where electric current is not available. After removing the
battery of the crimping diameter dial, the machine is also suited for operation in conditions where electric appliances
cannot be used due to danger of explosion. Thanks to its lightness, the crimping machine suits especially well to
travelling mechanicians. P16 HP crimping machine comprises a base, a crimping head and a hand pump.
P16 AP is a crimping machine operated with compressed air for one-off production of hose assemblies. P16 AP crimping
machine comprises a base, a crimping head and a power unit.
Transport
The packed machine is transported on a pallet. Size of package
P16 HP: x = 51 cm, y = 41 cm, z = 31 cm,
P16 AP: x = 62 cm, y = 77 cm, z = 61 cm.
Storage
The manufacturer has protected the machine against corrosion
by using the Zerust method. The machine has been packed into
a bag made of Zerust film.
The protection is effective for months if the package is not
opened. After opening it, the protection of the wrapping film
ceases. If the machine is not yet brought into use, it must be
reprotected against corrosion. The machine is to be stored in
dry indoor conditions.

COMMISSIONING
Oil fill P16 HP
The crimper is delivered with the oil tank filled. It is recommendable to check the amount of oil anyway, because some oil
may have run out through the air breather during transportation. Fill the tank up to the line on the front end plate. Volume
of the tank is 0.8 liter.
WARNINGS
General
The machine is intended for professional use. It is to be operated only by a trained operator who has understood the
dangers involved in the operation.
Openings between the dies exceed 6 mm, thus being large enough to let fingers go between the dies and get crimped. It
is, therefore, ABSOLUTELY necessary to follow operating instructions and warnings indicated by the stickers on the
machine when changing dies and crimping fittings.
WARNING 1
003199.eps
Do not put your hands inside the dies while crimping!

Selecting the die set
Use only original Finn-Power die sets in Finn-Power crimping machines.
Refer to the fitting manufacturer's specifications for proper crimping diameter for the fitting.
Each die set has its own crimping range. Follow it to assure the roundest possible crimping result.
The minimum crimping diameter D is marked on each die set.
Example: with die set No 18212/10 the minimum crimping diameter is 10 mm.
6
EXAMPLE: The crimping diameter of the fitting shall be 24.6 mm. Select die set No 16-23 (min crimping
diameter 23 mm) according to the die chart. Turn the dial to position 1.6 (upper scale 1, lower 6). This setting
will give the crimping diameter of 24.6 mm (23 + 1.6 mm).
The machine has been calibrated at the factory with 80 bar pressure. This means that when you are crimping
a fitting requiring 80 bar pressure, the measuring scale of the crimping diameter dial provides an accuracy of
+/- 0.1 mm (possible elastic recovery of the fitting not regarded). When fittings requiring higher pressure are
crimped, the crimping diameter may become larger than the value on the scale due to machine deflections.
Then the crimping diameter has to be corrected by changing the scale value.
Crimping
WHEN CRIMPING A FITTING, HOLD THE HOSE FAR ENOUGH TO AVOID CRIMPING YOUR HAND !
• After installing the proper die set and
adjusting the crimping diameter, insert the
hose and fitting between the dies.
• P16 HP: Pump the hand pump until the
indicator light goes on.
• P16 AP: Drive the pump until the indicator
light goes on.
• Open the shut-off valve till the fitting
loosens.
• Close the shut-off valve before the dies are
completely open. This speeds up the
following crimp as the free motion becomes
shorter.
• Check the result and measure the diameter.
If necessary, correct the set value and crimp
again.
To enable faster crimping and reliable results in
the future, make a chart of the diverse
hose/fitting combinations and the
corresponding die sets and dial adjustment values.

PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
Greasing
To avoid premature deterioration, keep the master
dies of the crimping machine clean and lubricate
them at 5 to 10 hours intervals, depending on the
crimping force. In case of fittings requiring much
force, lubricate the dies more often. Sufficient
lubrication is important as it diminishes friction,
thus increasing the crimping force.
Open the dies prior to lubrication. Apply grease to
the conical surface with e.g. a small brush (see
figure).
Lubricate rather often with a small amount of
grease than seldom with a great amount of grease.

Oil change
P16 HP:
• Change the oil once a year, in dirty conditions even more often.
• Dies must be open when you empty or fill the oil tank.
• Fill the tank up to the line on the front end plate. Volume of the tank is 0.8 liter.
• Recommended oil: Enerpac P22 or Shell Tellus T32
P16 AP: See the separate instructions for the power unit.
Battery change
• The indicator light of the crimping diameter dial
works by a 9V battery. Change the battery when
it becomes too faint or goes out completely.
• Any durable battery of type PP3, the voltage of
which is 9V, is suitable.
