COLD WEATHER INSTALLATION
The tool with battery must be warmed up before operating in
temperatures below 5°C by doing some cycles without pipe.
The lowest ambient temperature for Q&E is -15°C.
TIGHTNESS TESTING
The fi tting joint can be pressurized after 30 minutes at temperatures
down to +5°C.
At lower temperature increases the waiting time as follows:
+ 5°C... 0°C: 1,5 h
0°C...- 5°C: 3 h
- 5°C...-10°C: 4 h
-10°C...-15°C: 10 h
At room temperature, the joint will be as strong as the pipe itself
after, within 6 and 24 hours.
Tightness testing in accordance with the relevant standards (ANV
12108) shall be carried out before the system is taken into operation.

CLEANING
The ventilation slots of the machine must be kept clear at all times.
Use the supplied grease tube to lubricant the Q&E expander heads.
Daily or at least every 100 connections, clean the cone of the tool
and lubricate the cone. Use a clean, lint-free cloth to apply a thin
coat of lubricant (Molycote G-n plus) to the expander cone. Keep all
other parts of the tool free from lubricant.
Regularly clean the inside of the expander heads using a dry cloth.
Avoid any build-up grease in between the segments. It is essential
to keep the outside of the segments free from grease and dry.
Improper lubrication (too much, or too little) may result in faulty
connections, which could result in property damage.
MAINTENANCE
Use only MILWAUKEE M18™ Q&E expander heads or Uponor
Standard expander heads. The use of incorrectly sized expansion
heads may result in faulty connections, which could result in
property damage.
Use only Milwaukee accessories and Milwaukee spare parts. Should
components need to be replaced which have not been described,
please contact one of our Milwaukee service agents (see our list of
guarantee/service addresses).
If needed, an exploded view of the tool can be ordered. Please
state the machine type printed as well as the six-digit No. on
the label and order the drawing at your local service agents or
