INSPECTION AND MAINTENANCE
DANGER
Verify hydraulic pressure is released and power supply is disconnected before following inspection and maintenance
procedures, unless otherwise specified in the procedure.
Each crimping head is assembled and inspected before shipment. TE Connectivity recommends that the
crimping head be inspected immediately upon its arrival at the facility of use, and at regularly scheduled
intervals to ensure the head has not been damaged during handling and use. Frequency of inspection
depends upon the following: care, amount of use, and handling of the head; type and size of products crimped;
degree of operator skill; and environmental conditions.
