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 clean dry air supply set at 90
-
100 p.s.i. (6.2
-
6.9 bar) Max. equipped with a filter
-
regulator to prevent wear.
*Proper care by operator is necessary in maintaining full productivity and reducing downtime. Read all applicable tool manuals and

*Check tool and nose assembly for damage. (Replace/Repair if necessary). See overhaul (pgs. 14
-
15) for tool repair.
* Inspect hoses and couplings for wear, damage and leaks. (Replace/Repair if necessary).
* Verify that hydraulic hose fittings and couplings, air and electrical connections are secure. Tighten, Replace or Repair if necessary
(
See hydraulic thread preparation below).
*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, Air Actuators, 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 air/hydraulic leaks. Tighten or replace (if necessary).

HYDRAULIC THREAD PREPARATION
IMPORTANT:
Be sure to use thread sealant on all hydraulic fittings, Loctite® 545 or equivalent or a non
-
hardening Teflon®
thread compound such as Slic
-
tite®. Tighten until fitting feels snug and then continue to tighten 1/2 to 1 full turn.
CAUTION:
Over
tightening can easily distort the threads. DO NOT USE TEFLON® TAPE.
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.
