OPERATING INSTRUCTION MANUAL
TWS-N SERIES | HYDRAULIC TORQUE WRENCHES
- SQUARE DRIVE
Hi-Force TWS-N series of lightweight aluminium Square Drive Hydraulic Torque Wrenches are designed to
handle the toughest bolting jobs quickly and accurately. All models provide a torque accuracy of ± 3%. The
reaction arm allows the user to easily position the tool and if necessary react off the tool body in confined
situations. TWS-N Torque wrenches are available in torque capacities up to 36992 N·m at a maximum
working pressure of 700 bar (10,000 psi). This manual applies to the Hi-Force TWS-N series Hydraulic
Torque Wrenches Only. It contains the latest product information available at the time of publication and
approval. For information relating to the servicing of a Square Drive Hydraulic Torque Wrench, see the
servicing instructions, which are available on the Hi-Force website. Hi-Force reserves the right to make

    How to fix Hi-Force Power Tool that will not retract?
    • J
      Jessica HolmesAug 28, 2025
      If your Hi-Force Power Tool isn't retracting, consider these possibilities: * Hose connections might be reversed. Ensure the advance coupler on the pump connects to the advance coupler on the tool, and the retract coupler on the pump connects to the retract coupler on the tool. * The retract hose may not be securely connected. Ensure it is properly connected. * A broken retract pin could be the issue. Replace the broken pin and/or spring.
