MAINTENANCE
Regular Inspection Repairs
– Always keep jaw sets, expander heads and cylinder clean. If they
become dirty, clean them with a brush and then oil them. The tool
should then be stored dry.
– Before each use, check the jaw sets, the expander and the tool for
damage or visible wear. Damaged tools must no longer be used and
should immediately be sent to your local REHAU representative for
repair.
– During compression, the sets must close fully and the
compression sleeves must be pushed up to the tting collar.
– Regularly remove the grease from the taper of the expander. There
should be no grease on the surface of the expanding
segments. Should excess grease reach the expanding segments,
clean the segments carefully (for example with cleaner’s naphtha)
and then dry them.
– Grease the inside of the cylinder regularly (tube of lubricant
enclosed), keeping the outside surface of the cylinder dry. Do not
grease the compression jaws.
Do not perform any repairs on the tool yourself. Repairs should only
be carried out by an authorized REHAU representative.
Storage
Never store a wet tool! Dry the tool and grease it. Then store the tool
dry.
