6. MAINTENANCE / INSPECTION
DANGER
To avoid personal injury, ALWAYS release hydraulic pressure to hose or control and disconnect power unit from power supply
before performing maintenance or inspection procedure.
Each crimping die is thoroughly inspected before packaging. Since there is a possibility of damage during
shipment, the crimping die should be inspected immediately upon arrival at your facility.
Regular inspections should be performed by quality control personnel. A record of scheduled inspections
should remain with the dies and/or be supplied to supervisory personnel responsible for the dies. Though
recommendations call for at least one inspection a month, the inspection frequency should be based on the
amount of use, ambient working conditions, operator training and skill, and established company standards.
CAUTION
Regular inspections should include checking torque setting of (4) screws in accordance with Figure 8.
