GENERAL
SAFETY RULES
The Master Dies are greased at the point of
manufacture after final testing. This should not be
relied on to protect the crimper during initial use.
Prior to commissioning, the machine should be
greased according to operating Instructions.
Greasing of the master dies is critical to ensuring a
long and trouble-free life for the crimper.
Greasing frequency should be increased when
operating in aggressive or high volume environments.

Greasing
Running-In
Recommended run-in period for a new machine is 2 crimps.
It is recommended the greasing process is carried out at least
twice a day, more if the machine is in constant use.
The purpose of frequent greasing is to ensure that there is
always enough grease between the sliding surfaces. Due to
the surface pressure the grease sinks in to the metal pores
ensuring good sliding properties for the machine’s lifetime.
During the run-in period grease the machine after every
100 crimps.
