ROTHENBERGER Pressbacken Standard - Manual (Page 5)

ENGLISH 5
Pressing
The connection preparations can be found in the system-related technical documentation from the fittings
manufacturer and the prerequisites for leak-proof press joints.
Both jaw levers must be actuated for the opening or closing of the jaw. Locate the jaw on the press
fittings according to the instructions of the press fitting manufacturer. Carry out pressing operation.

After completing the pressing operation the jaw must be completely closed at the top as well as
above the connecting strap.

Maintain visual inspection during the pressing procedure!
After a completed pressing operation the jaw is opened by pressing the jaw lever.
Caution!
The nominal width and the pressing contour of the fitting must match the nominal width and contour
of the jaw. If this is not true faulty pressings will result. Always follow the mounting instructions of
the fittings manufacturer!
Caution!
There must be no contamination, swarf or suchlike in the pressing contour of the jaw and the fitting.
If this is not true faulty pressings will result.
Danger!
Never put fingers or other body parts inside the inner area of the jaw. Risk of injury!
Maintenance, Service
Have your jaw checked at the latest 1 year after the purchase or after 10,000 pressings (according to
which occurs first) by an authorised ROTHENBERGER testing centre, and repeat these checks at the latest
1 year or another 10,000 pressings after the previous inspection. During jaw inspection the jaws are
checked for operating and functional safety and wear parts (e.g. springs) are exchanged. Jaws which are
functionally and operationally safe are returned to you.
Inspection and service calls for jaws older than 3 years!
Jaws wear during continuous use. Older jaws can burst if damage (e.g. microcracks) already exists and
broken pieces can cause injuries. For safety reasons it is therefore necessary to arrange to have all
ROTHENBERGER jaws, which are older than 3 years, checked by an authorised ROTHENBERGER testing
centre. All ROTHENBERGER jaws are tested for operating and functional safety and wear parts changed if
necessary. ROTHENBERGER jaws, which are functionally and operationally safe, are returned to you - upon
which you get a 1 year guarantee.
Yours sincerely
