MAINTENANCE
This crimper requires minimal maintenance.
However, the following practices are
recommended to ensure maximum reliability and
service.
Lubrication
Lubricate sliding surfaces of die cone whenever
they become shiny or approximately every 250
crimp cycles. Use Lubrimatic Moly EP Grease or
equivalent.
• Press CRIMP button to close crimper mouth and
expose grease fittings.
• Shut power switch off.
• Using grease gun, grease both front (8) and
back (16) die shoe grease fittings (24 in all) until
grease appears on die cone surface.
• Operate crimper through a full CRIMP and
RETRACT cycle 5 times to distribute grease evenly.
Flange Head Bolts
Every six months, check the torque of the flange
head bolts. Torque should be at 330 Nm (2900
in lbs).
Foam Filler Pads
Check every 1000 crimps. If foam pad does not fill
space between die shoes, order new set and install.
Foam should rebound to original shape when
squeezed.
