• Make sure that the hydraulic hoses are securely connected.
• Make sure that the hydraulic hoses are not kinked or twisted.
• Keep the hydraulic hoses away from the reaction point.
• Replace damaged hydraulic hoses immediately. Replace the hydraulic hoses at least
every three years.
2.2.4 Reaction arms
• Only use HYTORC reaction arms.
• Do not modify the reaction arms in any way.
• Place the reaction arm against a solid reaction point that can handle the load.
• Only place the reaction area against the reaction point.
• Make sure that the end of the reaction arm has both horizontally and vertically at least
10 mm overlap with the reaction point. If a distance of at least 10 mm is not possible,
choose another reaction point or use an appropriate reaction arm.
• Make sure that the reaction arm is locked onto the tool.
• Avoid excessive play. Pressurize the system momentarily. If the tool tends to creep or
stand askew, stop immediately and adjust the reaction arm to a more solid and secure
position.
• Do not place the reaction arm against a round or inclined reaction point.
• Do not place any part of your body between the reaction arm and the reaction point.
• Do not place objects between the reaction arm and the reaction point.
• When you use a reaction cup, make sure that the reaction cup is placed over the
reaction point completely.
• When you use a reaction pin cup, make sure that the pin reaches the bottom of the
hex bolt.
2.2.5 Sockets
• Only use HYTORC sockets.
• Do not modify the sockets in any way.
• Do not use sockets that have been excessively heated or cooled.
• Use thick-walled heavy-duty sockets only. Do not use thin-walled sockets.
• Only use deep well sockets when strictly necessary. The excessive height causes
unnecessary bending forces.
