Tool Maintenance
The 2013 and 2014 series require a minimum amount
of maintenance. Regular inspection and correction of
minor problems will keep the tool operating efficiently
and prevent downtime.
Using filter-regulator-lubricator unit is highly recom-
mended for safe and reliable tool operation. If a filter-
regulator-lubricator unit is not being used in the air
supply: (1) remove hose fitting from air inlet connector
and drop in a few drops of automatic transmission fluid
or light oil (2) blow out air line to remove dirt and water
before connecting air hose to tool. At regular intervals,
depending upon use, replace all seals in tool. Service
Kits should be kept on hand. Inspect both hydraulic
pistons, and their piston rods for scored surfaces,
excessive wear or damage, and replace as necessary.
Always replace seals and back-up rings when tool is
disassembled for any reason to assure proper seal-
ing and tool function.
Nose Assembly Maintenance
Caution
Damaged jaw teeth, or debris packed between
teeth, will result in failure to install fastener or
improperly installed fastener.
Frequently cleaning the nose assembly is recommend-
ed. Remove nose assembly from tool and disassemble
- - see DISASSEMBLY Check components for any
signs of damage, e.g. cracks, scores and spring dam-
age. Check gripper teeth for damage. Remove any
debris packed between teeth with a sharp pointed
‘pick’. Periodically dip nose, while cycling tool, in min-
eral spirits, isopropyl alcohol or other suitable solvent,
to clean jaws and wash away metal chips and dirt.
