3. MAINTENANCE
The tool is robust, completely sealed, and requires very little daily maintenance. Compliance with
the following points, should help to maintain its optimum performance:
3.1) Thorough cleaning
Dust, sand and dirt are a danger for any hydraulic device. Every day, after use, the tool must be
wiped with a clean cloth taking care to remove any residue, especially close to pivots and move-
able parts.
Do not use hydrocarbons to clean the rubber parts.
Regularly lubricate the moving parts and pivot pins of the head with a few drops of oil.
3.2) Storage case
When not in use, the tool should be stored and transported in the plastic case, to prevent damage.
The case, type VAL-P40, is suitable for storing the tool and accessories.
VAL-P40: Size 520x432x126 mm (20.5x17.0x5.0 inches). Weight 2,6 kg (5.7 lbs).
3.3) Routine maintenance
When the tool reaches the predetermined number of hours worked, it will signal that routine
maintenance is recommended.
The tool will continue to work however 15 sec. after use an alarm comprising 3 beeps com-
bined with illumination of the worklights will signal that its return to Cembre for service is
recommended (see § 6).
