® Tool
1) Remove the two screws located at the back of the
cylinders. Remove third screw holding the side bodies
together. Holding the tool in place, gently lift the side
cover exposing the mechanical linkage. This side
cover is a close fit and may require a slight rocking
motion to separate the cover from the tool.
2) Examine the linkage for over-all condition such as
dirt, metal filings, liquid contamination and lubrication.
3) Examine the upper cylinder (tension cylinder), for
evidence of air leaks, noted by residue around the
piston.
4) Clean tool cavity, including tool body, linkage, and
already removed tool cover.
Procedure for disassembly to clean and lubricate the
mechanical linkage points
• Remove the Maintenance Flip Cover. Examine all moving parts and linkages for wear.
• Using an air nozzle, gently clean the parts of any dirt and metal filings in the tensioning
cavity.
• Using cotton swabs or a short bristled brush, continue to wipe away any foreign debris
and purge once again with the air nozzle.
• After thoroughly cleaning all moving parts, re-lubricate all surfaces. Following are
lubrication instructions.
• For mechanical parts lubrication use a synthetic gel lubricant containing Teflon.
