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.
