• If there is a power supply interruption during pressing procedure, the
machine stops and the pistons will be brought into the original position
after a few seconds.
Note:- for 100-B press black release button on side of tool.
• Whenever a pressing cycle is not fully completed the complete procedure
must be repeated.
• It is strongly recommended to never attempt to repeat a pressing cycle
that has been interrupted. This may lead to damage to the joint and pos-
sible leakage. The joint should be cut out and replaced by a new one.
• The use of jaws not specifi cally designed for pressing the fi ttings being
used may lead to damage and incorrectly compressed fi ttings. Contact
your RIDGID Press Fit Service Centre for any malfunction not covered in
this instruction manual.
MAINTENANCE
Always remove the battery before performing any maintenance.
Daily
- Clean the Press Fit tool with a soft cloth. Do not use detergents to clean
the crimping tool. Check the condition of the tool and ensure that the
press rolls (Fig.1, ref. 6) are free of metallic particles. Use lubricating and
corrosion prevention spray if they appear dry.
Every 20,000 pressings (or every 3 years)
- The Press Fit tool must be sent for inspection and maintenance to the
nearest authorized RIDGID Press Fit repair centre. After 20,000 cycles a
warning signal will indicate that the tool should be serviced (see trouble-
shooting).
- The repair centre will fully overhaul the tool and inspect that it is opera-
ting correctly.
- Any unauthorized modifi cations and/or repairs will invalidate the warranty.
Storage
- Before storing the tool for long periods clean the tool thoroughly and wipe
clean.
- Keep the tool away from moisture and heat, and do not expose the tool
to extreme temperatures.
- Keep away from children.
- The RIDGID Press Fit tool is made of numerous metal and plastic parts.
Ensure that the tool is correctly disposed of in accordance with local
regulations.

Follow fi tting manufacturer’s recommendations on proper installation.
The use of incorrect jaw sets for a system or size will result in an
improper seal that could result in extensive property damage.
