MAINTENANCE
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
Failure to perform regular maintenance tasks could result in
bodily injury and/or property damage.
The service life of a tool can be greatly improved with proper
care and maintenance. To extend the life of your PATRIOT®
follow the recommended maintenance tasks outlined below.
• Keep the tool exterior clean at all times. Remove dirt, debris,
and other foreign substances from external surfaces daily, to
help prevent corrosion and damage to the tool, the ram &
piston mechanism.
• Remove all surface contaminants.
contaminants cannot be removed with a cloth, spray head
and ram piston with a general purpose cleaning solution to
help loosen contaminants. Avoid getting solvents onto the
plastic housing as some cleaners & solvents may damage
the housing material. Using a stiff brush, never metal, remove
all contaminants in and around the ram and piston area and
allow solvent to drain off tool.
• Extreme care should be taken to prevent contamination from
entering the hydraulic system. The PATRIOT® hydraulic
circuit is a closed system. Replacement of hydraulic fluid or
topping off of hydraulic fluid by the user is NOT recommended.
• Inspect the tool for signs of leaks, cracks, wear or damage.
• Lightly lubricate the external ram & piston surfaces, and die
buttons, with a high grade silicon lubricant.
• Wipe the tool with a clean and dry rag before placing the tool
into the case.
