Specifications and Equipment
ET4001 Crimp Machine and Accessories

ET4001 Crimp Machine

ET4001 is ideal for factory high performance machine
operations, construction and mine locations. The ET4001
press offers crimping capabilities through 2” I.D. six spiral
hose.

Weight 500 lbs.

Size 30”high, 22”deep, 12”wide

ET4001P-002 Electric Pump

The Eaton ET4001P-002 power unit is ideally suited for
use with the ET4001 press. It features a two-stage pump
providing high flow at low pressure for fast ram approach
and low flow at high pressure for actual crimping.

Dimensions 7½” high, 10” wide, 22” long

Weight 75 lbs.
Pressure 5000 psi
Reservoir Capacity 6 Quarts
Outlet Port Size ¾-16 Straight Thread O-ring
Motor 1HP, 3450 RPM, 220 volts, 60 cycle,
Single Phase
Hydraulic Oil ISO 32 (SAE 10W)
Flow 2.6 GPM to 900 psi. 0.6 GPM above
900 psi

CAUTION
The ET4001P-002 Electric Pump has the relief valve set
at 5,000 psi. Damage to the press will result and the
warranty may be voided if higher pressures are used.
Requires individual 20 amp service breaker (220 v).

Components Needed: T-410-22 Hose Assembly (1)

WARNING
3. Hold switch until pusher touches the base adapter ring.
Do not cycle without base adapter ring in place.
4. RELEASE SWITCH. Pump and pusher will stop.
5. Move switch to the RETRACT position. The pusher will
retract fully in approx. 12 to 14 seconds.
6. REPEAT STEPS 3 & 5 APPROXIMATELY SIX TIMES. This
will purge the hydraulic system.

WARNING
Do not attempt to disconnect the Hose Assemblies when
the pusher is not fully retracted.
