test under load in the country where the tool is used.
B. Servicing & Maintenance

The servicing and the general maintenance operations must be done before each
use.
The servicing and the maintenance operations of the tool must be done when the tool
is removed or in a rest configuration.
For the tool:

4 Handling / Storage
A. Handling
Handling of case
The storage case with or without equipment is handled manually, the nitrogen bottle
is not stored in the case.
Handling of parts

Note : Manufacturer declines all responsibility for consequences of all inappropriate

handling which could cause damage.
B. Storage
Before storing, refer to ‘Packing checklist’ (chapter 2.3) in order to verify the
availability of all items which shall be part of the GSE/Tool P/N 98F29103500000.
When not in use, the tool must be stored in the crate provided for this purpose in a
clean place to avoid damage due to the following risks :
 Chemical: oxidization due to humidity resulting from :
 Rain (water falling directly onto the crate).
 Condensation (by variations in the relative humidity of the air due to tempera-
ture variations).
 Mechanical: surface accident, breakage
