5. SERVICING THE TOOL
Regular servicing should be carried out and a comprehensive inspection performed annually or every 500,000 cycles,
whichever is sooner.
The employer is responsible for ensuring that tool maintenance instructions are given to the appropriate personnel.
The operator should not be involved in maintenance or repair of the tool unless properly trained.
5.1 DAILY
•
Daily, before use or when first putting the tool into service. Pour a few drops of clean lubricating oil into the air inlet of
the intensifier if no lubricator is fitted on air supply. If the tool is in continuous use, the air hose should be disconnected
from the main air supply and the tool lubricated every two to three hours.
•
Check for air and oil leaks. If damaged, hoses and couplings should be replaced.
•
If there is no filter on the pressure regulator, bleed the airline to clear it of accumulated dirt or water before connecting
the air hose to the intensifier. If there is a filter, drain it.
•
Check that the nose equipment is correct.
•
Check mandrels regularly for signs of wear or damage monitoring the number of placings (read the safety instructions
on page 4 - 6).
5.2 WEEKLY
•
Conduct the full "Daily" procedures as described above.
•
Remove, inspect, clean and grease the Tail Jaws (refer to "Tail Jaw Cylinder" in the "Maintenance Section" page 16).
•
Check oil level in the intensifier Unit reservoir is approximately 12mm (1/2") below the transparent cover plate.
CAUTION: Never use solvents or other harsh chemicals for cleaning the non-metallic parts of the tool. These chemicals
may weaken the materials used in these parts
