Operating Tips
Tie Installation:
When installing a tie, a random visual check to verify the presence of a dimple after
the tie has been applied is recommended. The dimple is the locking element of an
installed band. The XIT6000-CA forms a dimple into the band with the punch. By
controlling and monitoring the items that are needed to form a good lock, an operator
can help insure that the band will be applied correctly without having to inspect every
assembly.
These items are:
•Adequate air pressure and volume (see page 6,7)
•Setting the tool air pressure (see page 7,9)
•Following recommended PM Schedule (see page 24)
•Checking the Tool Punch Height (see page 25)
•Proper tool calibration (see page 37)
•Fixture mounting the tool properly (see page11-14 )
For best performance and to extend tool life:
• Follow preventative maintenance and parts replacement instructions
(page 24) at appropriate service intervals.
• Do not remove factory applied lubrication from inside tool or use degreaser.
• Do not spray any lubricant or cleaner into the Quick Connect Air Couplings.
• Use nominal recommended tension setting (listed on page 7-9). 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. Over tensioning of these screws may result
in stripping screw threads.
• For maintenance beyond what is described in this manual, consult BAND-IT.
