2.5 Remove the applicator from the crimping press (check the press operation manual for
instructions if you are unsure of how to remove the applicator from the press.)
2.6 Check the security of the fastenings. If any part is loose, tighten with the appropriate
hexagon key or spanner supplied with the crimping press.
2.7 Remove the ram from the main body of the applicator and clean off all the old grease
from the ram, feed cam and the mating surface of the applicator.
Caution
If an aerosol degreaser is used to clean the tooling, ensure that all traces of the solvent are removed
prior to reassembly.
2.8 Apply a thin smear of general-purpose grease to the bearing surfaces of the ram, feed
cam and cam-roller assembly and replace in the body of the applicator.
2.9 Apply a few drops of light machine oil to each of the pivot points on the feed-arm
mechanism.
2.10 Replace the applicator in the press.
2.11 Replace the safety covers.
2.12 If it is not intended to replace the applicator in the press, please ensure that the rubber collar
supplied with the tooling is placed between the dials and the applicator body. This action will avoid
any damage occurring to the crimping dies due to percussive shock when the crimping punches
make contact with the crimping anvils.

Recommended grease should be of the general purpose ‘LM’ type.
