Requirements:
n
The press machine is de-energised (disconnected from the mains, or
battery removed).
n
No press jaw is inserted.
Wipe the press machine down with a slightly damp cloth.
Dry-clean the press rolls from the roller head and wipe them with
maintenance oil (article no. 667 924).
Remove any dirt and metal residues from the press jaw or press
ring.
Remove any deposits in the press contour (e.g. with Viega cleaning
fleece, art. no. 104 412).
Lubricate the joints and moving components with maintenance oil
(article no. 667 924).

a lint-free cloth.
3.5.2
Performing checks
For trouble-free operation, perform checks in regular intervals:
n
After every use, check the pressing geometry of press jaws and
press rings for damage or visible wear.
n
Check the press jaws and press rings for smooth operation.
n
Check all press jaws and press rings for proper function by carrying
out a test pressing with press connector inserted. The press jaw
must lock completely to ensure proper pressing.
In case of malfunction, contact an authorized service point.
3.5.3
Inspection and maintenance
The functional safety and permanent leak tightness of the press con-
nector systems primarily depends on the functional and operational
safety of the Viega system press tools, i.e. the Viega press machine plus
Viega system press jaw, ring, chain, and (articulated) adapter jaw. These
Viega system press tools have been specifically designed for and
adapted to the installation of the Viega press connector systems. If sys-
tems by other manufacturers are used, Viega cannot provide any war-
ranties.
NOTICE!
Do not attempt to repair the press machine yourself but
have it repaired by an authorized service point.
