5. MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
DANGER
To avoid injury, DISCONNECT TOOL FROM AIR
SUPPLY before performing any maintenance or
inspection procedures.
It is recommended that a maintenance and inspection
program be performed periodically to ensure
dependable and uniform terminations. The platform
adapter should be inspected once a month.
Frequency of inspection should be adjusted to suit
your requirements, and depends on:
1. The care, amount of use, and handling of the
adapter.
2. The type and size of the products crimped.
3. The degree of operator skill.
4. The presence of abnormal amounts of dust and
dirt.
5. Your own established standards.
The platform adapter is thoroughly inspected before
packaging. Since there is the possibility of damage
during shipment, the adapter should be inspected
immediately upon arrival at your facility.
5.1. Maintenance
A. Cleaning
Remove dust, moisture, and other contaminants with
a clean, soft brush, or a soft, lint--free cloth.
Do NOT use objects that could damage the adapter.
Re--lubricate adapter, as instructed in Paragraph
5.1.B. Lubrication, before placing it back into service.
B. Lubrication
Lubricate all pins, pivot points, and bearing surfaces
with a high quality grease. The use of MolykoteH
grease, which is a commercially available lubricant, is
recommended. Lubricate according to the following
schedule:
Adapter used in daily production—lubricate daily
Adapter used daily (occasional)—lubricate weekly
Adapter used weekly—lubricate monthly
Wipe excess grease from adapter, particularly from
die closure areas. Grease transferred from the die
closure area onto certain terminations may affect the
electrical characteristics of an application.
5.2. Periodic Inspection
1. Inspect the adapter for missing pins and
retaining rings. If parts are missing or defective,
replace them by referring to Section 6.
2. Check all bearing surfaces for wear. Make sure
the rollers turn freely with minimal resistance.
Replace any worn parts.
3. Inspect the crimping area for flattened, chipped,
or broken areas. Worn or damaged surfaces are
objectionable and will affect the quality of the
crimp.
6. REPLACEMENT AND REPAIR
The parts listed in Figure 5 are customer--
replaceable. A complete inventory can be stocked
