6. MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION
It is recommended that a maintenance and inspection
program be performed periodically to ensure
dependable and uniform terminations. Frequency of
inspection depends on:
1. The care, amount of use, and handling of the
crimper assembly.
2. The presence of abnormal amounts of dust and
dirt.
3. The degree of operator skill.
4. Your own established standards.
The crimper assembly is inspected before being
shipped; however, it is recommended that the
assembly be inspected immediately upon its arrival at
your facility to ensure that it has not been damaged
during shipment. Due to the precision design, it is
important that no parts of the crimper assembly be
interchanged except the replacement parts listed in
Figure 3.
6.1. Daily Maintenance
1. Remove dust, moisture, and other contaminants
with a clean brush, or a soft, lint--free cloth. DO
NOT use objects that could damage the crimper
assembly.
2. Make certain that upper and lower
subassemblies and cable clamp springs are in
place and properly secured.
3. When the assembly is not in use, store it in a
clean, dry area.
6.2. Periodic Inspection
1. Remove all lubrication and accumulated film
with a suitable commercial degreaser that will not
affect paint or plastic material.
2. Make certain that all assembly components are
in place. If replacements are necessary, refer to
Section 7, REPLACEMENT AND REPAIR.
3. Inspect crimper assembly for worn, cracked,
chipped, or broken areas. If damage is evident,
return the assembly for evaluation and repair. See
Section 7, REPLACEMENT AND REPAIR.
