7. MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION PROCEDURE
Tyco Electronics recommends that a maintenance
and inspection program be performed periodically to
ensure dependable and uniform terminations. Though
recommendations call for at least one inspection a
month, frequency of inspection depends on:
1. The care, amount of use, and handling of the
hand tool.
2. The presence of abnormal amounts of dust and
dirt.
3. The degree of operator skill.
4. Your own established standards.
The crimping head is inspected before being shipped;
however, Tyco Electronics recommends that the tool
be inspected immediately upon arrival to ensure that
the tool has not been damaged during shipment.
7.1. Daily Maintenance
1. Crimping head should be immersed in a reliable
commercial degreasing compound to remove
accumulated dirt, grease, and foreign matter.
When degreasing compound is not available, head
may be wiped clean with a soft, lint–free cloth. Do
NOT use hard or abrasive objects that could
damage the crimping head.
2. Make certain that the retaining pins are in place
and that they are secured with retaining rings.
3. All pins, pivot points, and bearing surfaces
should be protected with a THIN coat of any good
SAE 20 motor oil. Do not oil excessively.
