MACHINE CLEANING
The most important item in machine maintenance is the cleaning of machine
components. To more specifically define the task, cleaning has been divided into three
categories. Schedules for each category have also been defined.
NOTE: CLEANING SHOULD BE DONE AS NEEDED.
This category involves an area that, if not cleaned, will gradually deteriorate machine
performance.
• Power Crimp
• Gauge/Regulator Assembly
• Power Crimp Hose Assemblies
• Supply Air Hose Assembly
• Foot Pedal Assembly
• Power Crimp Stand Assembly
MAINTENANCE
PNEUMATIC SYSTEM
Preventive maintenance of the pneumatic system requires a clean, dry (less than 36%
relative humidity @ 60 degrees F) shop compressed air supply. Experience has shown
that foreign material lodging in the air supply valves is a major cause of breakdowns. This
contamination of the system will occur from two sources.
The first occurs naturally inside the system. This includes rust, plus a small amount of grit,
caused by the wearing of components as they perform their functions. Varnish will also
form, as a result of oxygen reacting with lubrication oil.
The second includes materials such as rust, scale, and water entering the system from an
outside source.
