Maintenance; Blade Replacement - Cembre TC096 Operation And Maintenance Manual

ENGLISH

3. MAINTENANCE

The oil pressure inside the head must always be completely released before disconnecting the
head from the hose.
All maintenance operations must be performed with the head disconnected from the hydraulic
pump hose.
The head is robust and requires very little daily maintenance.
Compliance with the following points should help to maintain the optimum performance of the tool.
3.1) Accurate cleaning
Dust, sand and dirt are a danger for any hydraulic device.
Avoid putting the head on muddy or dusty ground. Any dirt particles may score the ram and create
oil leaks.
Every day, after use, the head must be wiped with a clean cloth, taking care to remove any residual
particles, especially around the moving parts.
From time to time dip the cutting head into a kerosene bath or in a mild cleaning agent to remove
dirt particles. After this operation, the head must be dried carefully.
Lubricate blade pivot (22) with some drops of oil.
3.2) Replacement of the automatic coupler
To replace the automatic coupler proceed as follows:
– Remove the old coupler.
– Carefully clean the thread of the head to remove the old sealant.
– Apply Teflon tape to the thread.
– Fit the new automatic coupler and tighten to 30 Nm (22 lbf ft).
3.3) Storage
When not in use, the head should be stored and
transported in the steel case, to prevent damage.
Steel case: VAL- 096;
Size 450x265x145 mm (17.7x10.4x5.7 in.); weight
6,8 kg (15 lbs).

4. BLADE REPLACEMENT
