4. MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
Tyco Electronics recommends that a maintenance
and inspection program be performed periodically to
ensure dependable and uniform terminations.
DANGER
To avoid personal injury, ALWAYS disconnect the
main air supply and electrical supply (if
applicable) of the pneumatic tool system before
performing maintenance or inspection.
4.1. Daily Maintenance
Tyco Electronics recommends that each operator be
responsible for the following steps of daily
maintenance:
1. Remove dust, moisture, and other contaminants
with a clean, soft brush, or a lint--free cloth. DO
NOT use objects that could damage the crimper.
2. Make sure that all pins, rings, and other
components are in place and secure.
3. Make certain all surfaces are protected with a
thin coat of any good SAE 20 motor oil. DO NOT
oil excessively.
4. When the crimper is not in use, store it in a
clean, dry area.
4.2. Periodic Inspection
Regular inspections should be performed by
quality--control personnel. A record of scheduled
inspections should remain with the crimper or be
supplied to supervisory personnel responsible for the
crimper. Though recommendations call for at least
one inspection a month, the frequency should be
based on amount of use, working conditions, operator
training and skill, and your established company
policies. These inspections should include a visual
inspection as described in Paragraph 4.3.
4.3. Visual Inspection
1. Remove all lubrication and accumulated film by
immersing the crimper in a suitable commercial
degreaser that will not affect paint or plastic.
2. Make certain all components are in place. If
replacements are necessary, refer to Paragraph 6,
REPLACEMENT AND REPAIR.
3. Check all bearing surfaces for wear. Replace
worn parts.
4.4. Lubrication
Lubricate all pins, pivot points, and bearing surfaces
with a high quality grease. Tyco Electronics
recommends the use of MolykoteD grease, which is a
commercially available lubricant. Lubricate according
to the following schedule:
S Crimper used in daily production -- lubricate
daily
S Crimper used daily (occasional) -- lubricate
weekly
S Crimper used weekly -- lubricate monthly
