Maintenance
It is unlikely that service would be required on the hydraulic piston of the tool under normal
circumstances, but a seal spares kit is available (995288) and it is recommended to stock this at all
times.
The only parts that would need intermittent replacement would be the anvil and blade depending on
the frequency of use, materials being cut and the corrosive conditions present during operation.
IMPORTANT -
Replacement parts must always be sourced from Allspeeds Ltd. The use of unofficial
components will invalidate the warranty and may lead to tool damage or system failure.

Maintenance Notes
IMPORTANT
–
This cutter should only be serviced by qualified personnel. If in any doubt please
contact Allspeeds Ltd or a distributor.
Most maintenance task can be carried out with standard tools.
All servicing operations should be carried out in a clean environment to prevent contamination of the
oil and mating components.
Care should be taken with all mating areas, including threads and sealing faces, as any damage or
abrasive contamination could cause galling or seizing on re-assembly. Please note a suitable anti-
galling paste should be used (we recommend Swagelok Silver Goop) on all stainless steel threads.
The main cylinder (728075) is a pressure vessel and should not be drilled, machined, mutilated or
damaged in any way for mounting purposes or to assist in its removal for servicing, any warranty
could be invalidated by such actions.
The use of a Stilson wrench to remove the cylinder is not recommended as damage will occur.
Before carrying out any maintenance tasks ensure that the equipment is fully isolated and that there
is no residual pressure in the system.
