• Do not place any part of the body
between the wrench reaction foot and
the reaction point.
• Do not place any objects between the
wrench reaction foot and the reaction
point. Keep the hoses away from the
reaction points.
• Do not stand in the line of movement
of the tool when it is in operation. If the
tool separates from the nut or bolt during
operation it will detach in that direction.
• Be aware that a nut or bolt that breaks
off during operation of the tool may
become a high velocity projectile.
• Be sure appropriate guards are securely
in position and free from damage.
• Keep your hands away from the fastener
being loosened or tightened. Tightening
and loosening nuts and bolts involves
little visible movement. However, the
pressures and loads are extreme.
• Stop operation immediately if a gap
appears between the drive unit locating
plate (on the cassette) and the drive unit
housing. Have the tool inspected and
repaired before it is operated again.
• Maximum allowable pressure for the
W-Series torque wrench is 10,000 psi
[690 bar]. Do not exceed this pressure
setting.
• Always be sure that pump is stopped
and all pressure is fully relieved (0 psi/
bar before disconnecting or connecting
hydraulic hoses. The sudden and
uncontrolled release of pressurized oil
could occur if hoses are disconnected
while under pressure.
• Never attempt to connect or disconnect
hoses while the pump is on and/or the
system is pressurized.
• Be certain that all hose couplings
are fully connected at both the pump
and wrench ends before applying any
