5. PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE
Preventive maintenance will keep the machine in good working order and ensure maximum reliability and
service from all of its components.
DANGER
To avoid personal injury, electrical and pneumatic power must be DISCONNECTED at the source prior to maintenance.
DANGER
The CPU/motor controller assembly contains a high voltage which remains for a short period of time, even after power has
been removed. Disconnect the electrical power source and wait several minutes before removing the screws to access the
CPU/motor controller assembly.
NOTE
A monthly mandatory safety check includes checking that opening the guard door during a cycle shuts down the machine and
prevents the terminator from cycling until the guard door is closed. This practice should also be checked on the interlock on
the top cover.
5.1. Cleaning
Clean any debris from the applicator area daily.
DANGER
Compressed air used for cleaning must be reduced to less than 207 kPa [30 psi] and effective chip guarding and personal
protective equipment (including eye protection) must be used.
If an air-feed assembly is installed, check and replace the air filter element if necessary.
Wipe off the guards with a clean soft cloth.
CAUTION
DO NOT USE ANY SOLVENT TO CLEAN THE GUARDS. Solvent could damage the guards.
5.2. Lubrication
The moving parts of the machine require regular lubrication to ensure reliable service and long life. The
preferred greases are Chevron Ultra-Duty EP NLGI 2, Chevron Ulti-Plex EP NLGI 2, and Caltex Ultra-Duty EP
NLGI 2.
NOTE
Contact TE engineering for 2^nd choice alternates.
NOTE
For operation in temperatures below 10° C [50° F], it will be necessary to use a No. 1 grease.
CAUTION
It is important to only use Lithium-based grease with extreme pressure (EP) additives.
Using a grease gun, apply grease every 250,000 cycles to the fittings at the following locations and as shown
in Figure 10:
 the left side of the ram assembly;
 the right side of the ram assembly;
 the left side of the frame just behind the ram assembly; and
NOTE
Give one pump of grease while the ram is near the top of its stroke and one pump of grease while the ram is near the bottom
of its stroke for best distribution of grease around the bearing.
 the crimp height adjuster pivot pin
