Regular servicing should be carried out and a comprehensive inspection performed annually or every 500000 cycles, whichever is
sooner.
I M P O R T A N T
The employer is responsible for ensuring that tool maintenance instructions are given to the appropriate personnel. The
operator should not be involved in maintenance or repair of the tool unless properly trained.
D A I L Y
Daily, before use or when first putting the tool into service, pour a few drops of clean, light lubricating oil into the air inlet of the
tool if no lubricator is fitted on air supply. If the tool is in continuous use, the air hose should be disconnected from the main air
supply and the tool lubricated every two to three hours.
Check for air leaks. If damaged, hoses and couplings should be replaced by new items.
If there is no filter on the pressure regulator, bleed the air line to clear it of accumulated dirt or water before connecting the air
hose to the tool. If there is a filter, drain it.
Check that the nose equipment is correct.
Check the stroke of the tool meets the minimum specification (inside front page). It is the difference in the measurement between
the front face of the jaw spreader housing assembly and the front face of the handle top bore
before the trigger is operated and
once it is fully pressed.
W E E K L Y
Dismantle and clean the nose assembly with special attention to the jaws. Lubricate with Moly lithium grease before assembling.
Check for air leaks in the air supply hose and fittings.
Grease can be ordered as a single item, the part number is shown in the service kit opposite.
