3.6.2
Performing checks
To ensure trouble-free operation, perform checks at regular intervals:
▶
At the end of each use, check the press contour of the press jaws
and press rings for damage or visible wear.
▶
Check the press jaws and press rings for smooth operation.
▶
Check all press jaws and press rings for proper function by carrying
out a test pressing with press connector inserted.
In case of malfunctions, contact an authorised service partner.
3.6.3
Inspection and maintenance
The functional safety and permanent leak tightness of the Viega press
connector systems depend primarily on the functional and operational
safety of the Viega system press tools, which comprise the Viega press
machine plus Viega system press jaw, ring, chain, and hinged adapter
jaw. The Viega press tools were developed and adapted specifically for
use with the Viega press connector systems. Viega does not check
whether these system press tools can be used for pressing other manu‐
facturers' systems. In particular, no statement can be made on whether
it is possible to create permanently leakproof connections in this way.
NOTICE!
Do not attempt to carry out repairs yourself. Have repairs
carried out only by authorised service partners.
