Maintenance and Lubrication Guide
This guide provides the information required for basic maintenance of the DEUTSCH Crimp Tool
HDT-48-00 and & DANIELS Crimp Tool AF8 M22520/1-01 (these tools are functionally identical
for maintenance purposes) as modified by C. Davis Systems & Software, LLC's (CDSS) for use in
our GWT and LC lines of Crimping Machines.
NOTE: the DEUTSCH Crimp Tool HDT-48-00 & DANIELS Crimp Tool AF8 M22520/1-01 are hand
tools modified by CDSS for use in our our various automated Crimping Machines. Although the
tool was designed to be 'maintenance free,' the extremely high cycle counts and throughput of
automated crimping in our customer's various wire processing applications necessitate periodic
maintenance, especially cleaning and lubrication.
We recommend Krytox GPL 206 Grease for all Crimp Tool lubrication. Krytox is stable at high
temperatures, chemically inert, insoluble in most common solvents, non-flammable, and
compatible with plastics, metal, rubber and ceramics.
