# General Maintenance

Tools will be routinely inspected for any signs of corrosion. It is recommended that tools that have the evidence should be returned to the nearest Atlas Copco service location for refurbishment..

Lifting eyes and straps on tools should be checked before usage for any cracks, tears or any other visible damage. Lifting straps or eyebolts, which are found to be damaged, should not be used.

During storage, it is recommended that all hydraulic fittings have their connected dust caps correctly fitted to prevent any foreign objects getting into the fittings and fouling them.

Tensioners should not be dropped or hit by other hand tools as this risks causing damage to the sealing surfaces of the tool, which can result in tool failure during usage.

The tool coating must be routinely inspected and checked for any evidence of cracking or flaking. It is recommended that tools that have evidence of flaking or cracking be returned to Atlas Copco.

If at any time you have doubts about the operational suitability of a tensioner tool, please contact Atlas Copco for advice.

Atlas Copco recommend that tools are fully refurbished once every 12 months. We can provide a tool refurbishment service for a nominal cost.
