Pressing Attachments
1. Inspect the press profile daily
(Figure

If rusty, dirty or if there is evidence of
fitting material building up on the inside
diameter, clean with fine grade Scotch-

mark of 3M Company) metal polishing
pads (or equivalent), steel wool or a steel
bristle wire brush.
Do not clean pressing profile with
aggressive abrasive materials or methods,
such as emery cloth, sandpaper, grinding
wheels or rotary files. These methods may
alter critical pressing profile dimensions and
cause improper pressed connections that can
lead to extensive property damage.
