Page: 1 of 2 PA24517A01 03 11/2015 CT-720 INSTALLATION TOOL: MAINTENANCE AND INSPECTION INSTRUCTIONS Maintenance and Inspection procedures should be performed at least once a month, whenever LUBRICATION damage has occurred, or as often as operating conditions warrant. 1. Wipe tool and dies clean with a lint free cloth. 2. Lubricate pivot pins with SAE20 or equivalent machine oil. VISUAL INSPECTION 1. Visually inspect tool for missing or loose pins and connecting hardware. 2. Visually inspect the installing dies for worn, chipped or cracked surfaces. Damaged dies are CT-720 DIE CLOSURE RANGE TABLE objectionable and may go undetected when gauging the die closure (see chart below). DIE PART COLOR CODE & DIA.D NUMBER INDEX NUMBER MIN.- MAX. 3. If parts are missing or damaged, contact your local Panduit Sales Office for information on repair or replacement of tools.

Insert die into recess and firmly tighten die retention screw. a controlled cycle 2. Lay tool on flat surface and close handles until jaw just contacts die. Measure distance between BROWN P33 .303 - .321 mechanism. Keep fingers grips as shown in Figure 1. This distance should measure between 10 and 13 . clear of die closure during GREEN P37 .344 - .364 3. If distance is less than 10 , turn adjustment screw clockwise if more than 13 , turn screw gauging procedure. PINK P42 .393 - .413 counterclockwise.

YEL/RBY P62 .574 - .599 1. Clean the die surfaces before gauging. CD-720-4 WHITE P66 .654 - .682 2. Close handles until jaw and die are fully bottomed. CD-720-5 RED P71 .692 - .720 3. Using precision calipers, measure the die pocket (ensure the measurement is taken across the CD-720-6 BLUE P76 .757 - .787 parallel surfaces of the die) as shown in Figure 3.

Compare the measured value to the CT-720 die closure range table on the right. C-720 Metal Carrying Case 5. If the measured value falls into the specified range, the die closure is dimensionally correct. If the CC-720 Controlled Cycle Mechanism measured value is out of range, contact Panduit Tool Service Department at: 1-888-506-5400, ext. 83255. 2015 Panduit Corp. Page: 2 of 2 PA24517A01 03 11/2015
