To prevent personal injury, ALWAYS disconnect

the main air supply and electrical supply (if

applicable) of the pneumatic tool before installing

or removing the crimper.

DO NOT operate pneumatic tool without the

crimper assembly installed. After crimper is

installed, verify that the quick pins are FULLY

tightened to avoid personal injury and damage to

the tool.

1. Remove quick pins from tool holder assembly.

Refer toFigure1.

2. Slide the crimper into tool holder assembly,

aligning the threaded holes on the crimper with the

quick pin holes on the tool holder.

3. After crimper is properly aligned in the tool

holder assembly, insert and tighten the quick pins.

Tyco Electronics recommends using Loctite{ No.

242 removable threadlock, or equivalent, to

prevent the quick pins from loosening.

4. MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION

Tyco Electronics recommends that a maintenance

and inspection program be performed periodically to

ensure dependable and uniform terminations.

To avoid personal injury, ALWAYS disconnect the

main air supply and electrical supply (if

applicable) of the pneumatic tool system before

performing maintenance or inspection.

4.1. Daily Maintenance

Tyco Electronics recommends that each operator be

responsible for the following steps of daily

maintenance:

1. Remove dust, moisture, and other contaminants

with a clean, soft brush, or a lint--free cloth. DO

NOT use objects that could damage the crimper.

2. Make sure that all pins, rings, and other

components are in place and secure.

3. Make certain all surfaces are protected with a

thin coat of any good SAE 20 motor oil. DO NOT

oil excessively.

4. When the crimper is not in use, store it in a

clean, dry area.

4.2. Periodic Inspection

Regular inspections should be performed by

quality--control personnel. A record of scheduled

inspections should remain with the crimper or be

supplied to supervisory personnel responsible for the

crimper. Though recommendations call for at least

one inspection a month, the frequency should be

based on amount of use, working conditions, operator

training and skill, and your established company

policies. These inspections should include a visual

inspection as described in Paragraph 4.3.

4.3. Visual Inspection

1. Remove all lubrication and accumulated film by

immersing the crimper in a suitable commercial

degreaser that will not affect paint or plastic.

2. Make certain all components are in place. If

replacements are necessary, refer to Paragraph 6,

REPLACEMENT AND REPAIR.

3. Check all bearing surfaces for wear. Replace

worn parts.

4.4. Lubrication

Lubricate all pins, pivot points, and bearing surfaces

with a high quality grease. Tyco Electronics

recommends the use of MolykoteD grease, which is a

commercially available lubricant. Lubricate according

to the following schedule:

S

Crimper used in daily production -- lubricate

daily

S

Crimper used daily (occasional) -- lubricate

weekly

S

Crimper used weekly -- lubricate monthly
