3.2 Insertion of straight fittings
XXPlace the insertion mandrel or the insertion cone into the retainer to
insert straight fittings.
XXOpen the clamping unit, place the hose into it and fix the hose with
the clamping crank.
XXThe end of the hose must protrude from the clamping unit far enough to
the right to ensure that the nipple can be pushed into the hose up to its
full insertion depth.
XXPush the fitting a bit into the hose end with your hand.
XXUsing the hand lever, now move the insertion unit with the insertion
mandrel or alternatively with the insertion cone to the left towards
the hose.
XXMake sure that the nipple enters the hose end precisely in its centre
and use the hand lever to push in the fitting up to its full insertion depth.

4 Selection of the place of installation
The machine must be operated and stored in a closed building which
adequately protects the machine from atmospheric inuences, temperature
uctuations and humidity.
The machine has not been designed for use in potentially explosive
atmospheres.
Furthermore, the place of installation should be provided with appropriate
lighting and there should be enough room to allow safe working.
The machine requires a stable workbench as a base.
Please ensure that the workplace is ergonomically designed. Observe the
statutory provisions including but not limited to workplace
design, such as the health and safety at work act, insurers’ requirements etc.
For information about ambient conditions for operation and storage and
energy supply, please refer to chapter “Specications”.

6 Maintenance
To keep the machine in proper operating condition, it needs to be cleaned
and maintained as described below.
6.1 What you should know about rubber jaws
Heavy strain may lead to cracks and/or wear of the rubber jaws. This is why
you should check their condition daily.
Cracked or damaged rubber jaws have to be replaced.
To replace the jaws, unscrew their M8 x 20 xing screws. Remove the
damaged rubber jaws, replace them by new ones and x them again with
the screws.
Daily, before starting work • Check the condition of the machine
• Visually inspect the rubber jaws for
damage
Daily, after nishing work • Clean the machine and the workplace;
use a brush to remove processing
residues from the machine. Do not use
compressed air to remove residues.
Weekly • Clean and grease the sliding surfaces.
