Service And Maintenance - Triton Superjaws XXL SJA300 Instrucciones De Uso

Bending and shaping
• SuperJaws is fully capable
of being used as a vice to
bend and shape materials.
The top surface of the fixed
front jaw is sufficiently
strong enough to be used
with small to medium
hammers, as shown in Fig
21a and Fig 21b
• 1 ton of clamping force allows the jaws to be used as a
press to flatten a workpiece, as shown in Fig 21c
Note: Where necessary, remove the jaw pads to protect
them from damage. Do not use excessive force when
using a hammer to impact material, as the fixed front jaw
is only suitable for light use in these circumstances
Warning: Never impact the Moving Jaw (2) with a hammer
as the jaw and clamping mechanism could be damaged
Outdoor Use
• SuperJaws is ideal for outdoor use. The new improved
foot on the rear leg reduces the chance of the rear
leg submerging into soft ground, and the greater load
capacity allows larger workpieces to be clamped. However it is still possible that you may need to place
boards below each foot and the ground, especially if
you are using SuperJaws to its maximum load capacity,
or if the ground is very soft
• If SuperJaws gets wet it is important to dry the tool to
prevent corrosion. Also re-apply any oil or grease that
may have been affected by rain
SERVICE & MAINTENANCE
Contact your Triton stockist for replacement jaw pads.
These are easily replaced with basic tools.
Basic maintenance of this product should ensure a long
working life. Please note:
• Depending on the type of use, it is quite likely this
product will receive scratches and marks that will
remove paint and result in corrosion over time. Check
for corrosion and treat if necessary. Some disassembly
may be required to check thoroughly, such as the
underside of the moving jaw. Always dry SuperJaws if it
gets wet, particularly on any exposed metal surfaces

Bicycles
• SuperJaws is ideal for clamping bicycles during repair
and maintenance, and will hold the bicycle securely at
the required height. However, modern bicycle frames
need careful consideration before clamping. Carbon
fibre frames are very easy to damage and should not
be clamped. Steel bicycle frames are possible to clamp,
so long as the clamping is applied carefully and slowly.
Ideally, for any frame, the best solution is to fit an old
seat post to the frame and clamp the seat post instead,
to prevent the frame being damaged
Note: Clamp so the weight of the bicycle is dispersed
evenly across SuperJaws. Bicycles are considerably
heavier at the back than at the front
Additional Uses
There are many additional uses for SuperJaws which
are not featured in this manual. Whatever the use, it is
important to heed the following:
• Always check that SuperJaws XXL is correctly
assembled before use
• Do not overload SuperJaws beyond 250kg
• Make sure the workpiece is correctly balanced
• Do not exert too much force on the workpiece while
clamping
• Do not use clamping force beyond 1000kg; only clamp
to the required force
• Do not use this product as a step or for building work
platforms for people
• Lubricant or grease may be required from time to time,
but always apply it in moderation and never apply
lubricant if it will affect the way the product operates.
Any mechanism should only be lubricated with a light
spray lubricant which cannot affect the way it operates
• If SuperJaws becomes damaged or corroded, and
requires major repair, such as welding, you can no
longer rely on the given figures for clamping force or
load capacity. Under these circumstances, SuperJaws
should be replaced immediately, as this level of repair
will void the guarantee
