Maintenance - Cembre B-TC04 Operation And Maintenance Manual

ENGLISH
2.4) Head rotation
For ease of operation, the tool head can rotate through 180°.
Warning: do not attempt to rotate the head when the hydraulic circuit is pressurised.
2.5) Blade retraction
By pressing the pressure release button (17), the ram (06) and the lower blade will retract.
2.6) Battery status
(Ref. to Fig. 1)
After releasing the operation push-button, the residual battery capacity is automatically dis-
played, for 5 seconds. The number of Led's illuminated indicates the residual capacity:
8 led's illuminated: fully charged
4 led's illuminated: 50% capacity
1 led illuminated: minimum charge
When replacing the battery press the two points marked with the word "PUSH" at the same
time, remove the battery from its housing and insert the new one.
2.7) Power from an external source
Using the integral socket (26) the tool can operate from a external power supply (min. 20A)
or vehicle battery.
Using the special connection cable type ESC 600, supplied as an optional accessory, pro-
ceed as follows:
– Make sure the feed voltage is between 12 and 14,4 V DC.
– Connect the end with the spring grips to the external supply making sure to comply with
the polarity: the red grips to the positive pole (+), the black to the negative pole (–).
– Remove the cap (25) and connect the other end of the connection cable (93) to the socket
(26) of the tool; tighten the connector (92) by turning the ring nut clockwise until it locks.
– When the work is finished, disconnect the connection cable (93) and replace the protective
cap (25).
Should the poles be accidentally reversed, the tool will not be damaged but will operate
using only the integral battery (20). For rectification, reverse the polarity of the grips.

3.1) Using the battery charger
Carefully follow the instructions in the battery charger manual.
3.2) General information on how to use batteries
In order to use the batteries correctly, please follow these rules:
– Use the battery until the automatic residual energy display still has 1-2 leds showing: this
means the battery is almost completely discharged and no loss in the life of the battery has
been caused.
– Be particularly careful when charging the new battery the first 2-3 times in order to be certain
of maximising the available energy level.
– Allow the battery to cool down to ambient temperature prior to recharging.
– Rest the battery charger for at least 15 minutes between charges.

4. MAINTENANCE

The tool is robust, completely sealed, and requires very little daily maintenance.
Compliance with the following points, should help to maintain the optimum performance of
the tool:
4.1) Thorough cleaning
Dust, sand and dirt are a danger for any hydraulic device.
Every day, after use, the tool must be cleaned with a clean cloth, taking care to remove any
residual, especially close to pivots and moveable parts.
4.2) Storage
When not in use, the tool should be stored and transported in the metal case, to prevent
damage. Metal case: "VAL B-TC04" size: 566x410x130 mm (22.3x16x5.1 in.), weight: 6,7
kg (14.8 lbs).
