Clamp Installation:
When installing a clamp, a random visual check to verify the presence of a locking lip
after the clamp has been applied is recommended. The lip is the locking element
of an installed band. The IT2000 forms a fold into the band at the buckle edge with
the knife. By controlling and monitoring the items that are needed to form a good
lock, an operator can help insure that the clamp will be applied correctly without
having to inspect every assembly.
These items are:
• Adequate air pressure and volume (see page 4, 6)
• Setting the tool air pressure (see page 4, 6)
• Following recommended PM Schedule (see page 21)
• Fixture mounting the tool properly (see page10-13 )
For Best Performance and to Extend Tool Life:
• Follow preventative maintenance and parts replacement instructions (page 21) at
appropriate service intervals.
• Do not remove factory applied lubrication from inside tool unless performing a
thorough maintenance procedure and then replacing with fresh Lubricant
immediately.
• Do not use degreaser in the tool body.
• Do not spray any lubricant or cleaner into the Quick Connect Air Couplings.
• Use nominal recommended tension setting (listed on page 4, 6). Higher pressure
may not result in a tighter clamp, but increases the likelihood of clamp tail jamming
and premature worn parts.
• Do not over-tighten Knife Pin access screws. Over tightening of these screws may
result in stripping screw threads.
• For maintenance beyond what is described in this manual, consult BAND-IT.
