Loosening
1. Use the options menu to specify the type of fastener being used.
2. Make sure the Lithium gun and fastener equipment are positioned properly.
3. Make sure the torque reaction arrangement is placed securely (HYTORC Washer, HYTORC Nut, or
Reaction Arm).
4. Instruct the tool to loosen the fastener by pressing the center button.
CAUTION: the tool will use AT LEAST the maximum rated torque of the tool to loosen the fastener.
5. Pull the trigger to start the loosening operation.
6. Release the trigger to stop loosening the fastener.
CAUTION
In reverse direction, the torque gun is set to MAXIMUM torque setting in
order to loosen the nut. Use extreme caution when running in this mode.
TORQUE GUN OPERATION
Tightening
1. Use the options menu to specify the type of fastener being used.
2. Set the tool to the desired torque level.
3. Set the tool to the desired post-torque angle. (REMEMBER: the gun will apply AT LEAST its
maximum rated torque while turning the fastener through this requested angle. Accidental
application of this post-torque angle feature, or accidental retorqueing of a fastener while using
angle feature, can lead to damage of the fastener and fastened equipment.)
4. Set the tool to the desired release angle. (REMEMBER: the gun will apply AT LEAST its maximum
rated torque while turning the system in the “Loosen” direction. Depending on the reaction
arrangement of your system, and the requested release angle, this could cause the fastener itself
to loosen.)
5. Make sure the Lithium gun and fastener equipment are positioned properly.
6. Make sure the torque reaction arrangement is placed securely (HYTORC Washer, HYTORC Nut, or
Reaction Arm).
7. Pull the trigger to start the torqueing operation.
8. The tool will torque the fastener until the requested torque value is reached.
9. If a post-torque angle has been specied, the tool will turn the fastener the requested angle after
the torqueing operation.
10. If a release angle has been specied the tool will back-off the requested angle at the end of
the operation.
11. The tool will now indicate the status of the operation.
