Maintenance
Warning:
Always switch the machine off on the main switch during any maintenance works!
Note:
During the first 4 weeks after the initial operation check all screws and hydraulic connections and
fasten if necessary!
Daily Maintenance works
Open the crimp tool completely.
Switch off the motor and switch off the machine on the main switch.
Clean the crimp tool of crimping scales with some pressurized air.
Check the emergency-off-switch by operating it.
Check the level of oil through the glass.
Check visually for oil leakage.
Check the machine for outer damages or dismounting of parts (e.g. covers)
Check the holding bolts of the crimping dies for damages.
Monthly maintenance
Check the hydraulic hose assemblies for porosity and leaks.
Check the screwed joints and clamps of the hose assemblies for leaks.
Six-month maintenance
Check the bearing plates for wear.
Note:
Worn bearing plates can lead to damages on the machine or imprecise crimp values.
Worn bearing plates need to be exchanged.
Annual maintenance
Note:
You need to change the oil after a year.
Open the crimp tool completely.
Switch off the motor and turn off the machine on the main switch.
Pump the oil out and fill in new, clean and filtered (10 µ) hydraulic oil.
Attention:
The user has to ensure that the hose assemblies are replaced at appropriate intervals even if
there are no obvious safety-related defects in the hose assemblies. The hydraulic hoses are
high-pressure hoses. When a hose is replaced, care must be taken that the new one is of the
same quality.
The hose assembly must be replaced at least within six years of the production date (see
marking).
