MAINTENANCE
PERIODIC MAINTENANCE
1.
Daily maintenance is important to keep the tool in good working condition. Keep the head clean
and free of debris. Excessive dirt and grit can contribute to the premature wear of the tool's
mechanical parts. Always replace the dust cap on the connector fitting, and store the tool in its
clean, dry carrying case when not in use.
2.
Particular attention should be made in keeping the tool head openings free of foreign matter and
debris. When using the tool regularly, check that no foreign matter or debris exists in the open
areas between the ram and tool head. Thoroughly clean and lubricate the tool head. A tool that
is dirty with excessive foreign matter may jam and become damaged during operation.
3.
The hydraulic system has been calibrated and sealed at the factory.
4.
As long as the daily maintenance procedures are adequately carried out, the tool will provide
quality service for years. However, if problems are experienced, please contact Technical
Support at 1-800-777-3300.
CLEANING AND LUBRICATION OF TOOL HEAD
Thorough cleaning and lubrication of the tool head is recommended annually, depending on usage. It is
recommended that the CT-2002CH Tool be returned to Panduit Global Service Center
for proper
maintenance by our trained service staff.
VISUAL INSPECTION
1.
Visually inspect tool for cracks or damage that may affect tool performance.
2.
Visually inspect indenters for cracks, chips or damaged surfaces.
3.
Visually inspect tool for loose or missing components and evidence of loss of hydraulic fluid.
4.
If tool is damaged, or if parts are missing, contact Panduit Technical Support.
FORCE INSPECTION / CALIBRATION
Inspect the compression force of the crimp head monthly, whenever possible damage has occurred, or
as often as operating conditions warrant.
The tool output force can be certified by using a Panduit Compression Gauge, PG-1 (purchased
separately, see Optional Accessories on Page 1); or return tool to Panduit Global Service Center for
maintenance and calibration.
