Lubricate the die cage. For maximum service, FT1380 die cagesrequire lubrication at 50-crimp intervals with high efficiency PTFEgrease. FF91455 is a 16 ounce container that will provide sufficientlubricant for about 10,000 crimps.Periodically remove grease residue that has built up on the sides of the dies and inthe crimp ring during the crimping process. Residue becomes contaminated withmetal and plating chips and airborne contaminants, which can cause prematurewear of the dies and crimp ring. It should carefully be removed without mixing itwith newly applied grease.2. Die cage maintenance should be performed at 1000- crimp intervalsor every six months, whichever occurs first. Die cages should be freeof grease and debris and inspected for worn or damaged components.a. The sliding surface of the dies should appear smooth with no apparentgalling. Galled dies must be replaced. Individual dies in a cage can bereplaced without replacing all eight dies.b. Replace springs that show any sign of damage or collapse such asthose which are shorter than the other springs.c. The spring plate should appear smooth with no apparent galling.Galled spring plates must be replaced.d. Inspect remaining components, and replace those that arebadly worn.Reassemble components, and liberally apply high efficiency PTFE grease tothe die surface which slides along the spring plate. Torque the die cage bolts to50 in. -lbs. Ensure that all dies slide in and out freely.Machine Maintenance Procedures1. Sliding surfaces must be kept free of dirt and other abrasive materials.2. All exposed black metal surfaces should be coated occasionally with alight film of oil to prevent corrosion.3. Periodically check the oil level in the fluid reservoir of the hydraulicpower unit. Maintain the oil level according to the indicator on top ofthe reservoir. Add hydraulic oil as needed.Note: Completely retract the crimp ring when checking the oil level. |
