4.1.2 - CHECKING AND REPLACING THE OIL:
- Regularly check the oil level — about every 500
crimping operations.
- Empty the oil tank each year and replace the used oil with new oil (the machine is delivered with a full tank of
hydraulic oil type ISO HV 32).
4.1.3 - CLEANING THE SWAGING HEAD:
(DISCONNECT FROM POWER SUPPLY)
- Regularly dismantle the face flange and the die-carriers — about every three months. This is necessary to
ensure that metallic/other particles are removed before causing damage to machine parts.
Dismantle as follows:
- Put die set N° 35 into location 1
, Fig. 5,
with dies reversed so that they protrude past the face flange.
- Remove gauge setting mechanism - the crimper must be fully opened.
- Remove the 12 cap head screws from the face flange.
- Carefully remove the flange with the 8 die-carriers.
- Clean and lubricate all surfaces using recommended grease.
- Re
assemble
the flange and the die-carriers. Ensure that it is correctly located for the gauge setting mechanism.
- Tighten the 12 screws with a torque wrench
set

thus reducing the possibility of deforming the flange.)
