Translation of the original manual
Before using, read these instructions as well as the machine operating instructions and the coupling manufacturer's
instructions. Failure to fully follow and understand these instructions may result in serious material damage and serious
or even fatal injury.
Do not slide your fingers in the inserts profile.
Never install inserts of different diameters on the same machine.
Do not use the machine if there is no insert in the mother jaw. This action would damage the head of the press and
invalidate the guarantee. The machine is no longer being used correctly. The crimps would no longer conform.
Never replace components yourself. Any component that has been modified in any way whatsoever may cause serious
or fatal injury.
/!\ The Virax 253163 mother jaw is compatible with most electrohydraulic crimping machines in the 32-34kN
power range. It is not compatible with 32-34 kN electromechanical crimping machines (e.g. Virax, Viper® P30+).
Only use Virax inserts with your mother jaw.
If the formation of whiskers prevents the inserts coming into contact at the end of the pressing operation, replace the
inserts.
If abnormal wear or cracks can be seen on one of the head components, it must be replaced.
Using a damaged head or inserts will cause serious material damage and/or injury.
Check regularly the state of the inserts. Check proper closing of the head.
Clean the profiles of the inserts. Do not use metal files or abrasive materials likely to damage the crimping profile.
Do not lubricate inside the crimping profile.
The inserts are considered as consumables. Replace them at the first signs of wear. Crimping with worn inserts may
cause a leak.
The warranty period of your mother jaw is two years in normal conditions of use. Proof of purchase will be requested
(invoice or delivery bill).
Insert guaranteed 5 years (except profile).
VIRAX does not accept responsibility for damage incurred by accessories or caused to objects or people close to the
machine.
VIRAX may not be held liable for any damage caused by crimping performed with an insert with a profile not matching
the coupling to crimp or tube used or by crimping on a faulty coupling or tube.
This warranty is the only warranty valid on your VIRAX mother jaw. No employee, agent, merchant or other person is
authorized to modify this warranty or to provide other warranties on behalf of VIRAX.
