Air pressure must be removed from the unit while head or tool holder is detached.

1. Disconnect the system from the main air supply.

2. Remove tool holder assembly (with crimping head or adapter in place).

3. Firmly grasp the cam with the piston pliers and pull the cam away from the body of the tool so that it

is fully extended.

4. Inspect the stop ring, locking collar, and friction ring for wear. Replace, if necessary.

5. Inspect the stop ring, locking collar, and friction ring for wear. Replace, if necessary.

To avoid personal injury, replace the stop ring every 250,000 cycles (refer to Paragraph 9.2 for replacement procedure)

and replace the locking collar when any sign of wear is evident.

6. Inspect piston, cylinder wall, and cam for wear and remove dust, moisture, and other contaminants

with a clean, soft brush or lint--free cloth.

7. Apply a THIN coat of any good grade SAE 20 motor oil to the cam. Remove any excess oil.

8. Check that cam setscrew is securely holding cam onto piston rod. Tighten setscrew, if necessary.

9. Check crimping head or adapter in accordance with the instructions packaged with the specific

crimping head or adapter being used.

To avoid personal injury and damage to the tool, make sure that quick pins securing the crimping head or adapter to

the tool holder assembly are fully tightened. It is recommended that Loctite 242 be used to remove threadlock, or

equivalent, to prevent the quick pins from loosening.

To avoid personal injury, check that the locking collar is tightly securing the tool holder assembly before operating

power unit.
