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 Crimper follow the recommended maintenance
®
tasks outlined below.
• Keep the tool exterior clean at all times, especially the
T-track area of the head and die holder. 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. When surface
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.
• 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 silicone lubricant.
• Wipe the tool with a clean and dry rag before placing the
tool into the case.
