MAINTENANCE
WARNING
:
EXCESSIVE CONTACT WITH HYDRAULIC FLUID AND LUBRICANTS SHOULD BE AVOIDED.
WARNING:
MAINTENANCE PERSONNEL
MUST
READ AND UNDERSTAND ALL WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS.
WARNING
:
DISCONNECT TOOL FROM ITS POWER SOURCE BEFORE PERFORMING MAINTENANCE.
WARNING
:
BE SURE POWERUNIT IS DISCONNECTED BEFORE CLEANING OR WHEN REPLACING WORN

IS NOT DISCONNECTED.
The performance of any tool depends upon good maintenance practices. Following these minimal
requirements for service and care will extend the life of your tool.
*Only use a hydraulic power source equipped with relief valves and pressures set within
specified limits.
*Keep hydraulic system free of dirt. Avoid letting couplers contact a dirty floor.
*Do not use as a hammer to force fasteners into holes or otherwise abuse tool.
*Proper care by operators is necessary in maintaining full productivity and reducing downtime.
*Keep nose assemblies, especially jaws, clean and free of chips and debris. Lube jaws and collet surfaces
that jaws ride on with light machine oil on a daily basis.
*All Screwed End Caps, Base Covers, Air Fittings, Triggers, Screws and Nose Assemblies are to be
examined at the end of each working shift to check that they are secure.
*Check tool, all hoses and all couplings daily for damage or hydraulic leaks. Tighten or replace
(if necessary
).
HYDRAULIC THREAD PREPARATION
IMPORTANT:
Be sure to use thread sealant on all hydraulic fittings, Loctite® 30534 or similar Teflon® infused pipe
dope is recommended.
CAUTION:
Teflon tape is an excellent thread sealer, however, if it is not
properly applied, pieces of Teflon may enter the hydraulic system and cause malfunction or damage.
Use 1 1/2 wraps of tape on each thread. Cut off all loose tape ends. Tighten until fitting feels snug and
then go 1/2 to a full turn past that point.
CAUTION:
Over tightening can easily distort the threads.
