WRENCH TORQUE INFORMATION
FACTORS THAT AFFECT TORQUE
An impact wrench is a rotary hammer that impacts the head of a bolt or nut. It does not apply a slow steady torque 
as a standard torque wrench. Therefore, several factors aect the result of torque when using impact wrenches:
1.  LONG BOLTS. Long bolts having high-friction threads with lubrication under the bolt head or associated nut 
can twist when impacted, then untwist before the next impact. This will especially happen if there is low friction 
between the bolt head or nut and the mating surface.
2.  HEAVY, LOOSE OR MULTIPLE ADAPTERS. Heavy, loose or multiple adapters between the wrench and 
socket can dissipate the intensity of the impact to the bolt head or nut.
3.  AMOUNT  OF  IMPACT. Maximum torque results can be obtained by allowing continuous impacting of the 
socket against the bolt head or nut for at least 10 seconds.
4.  HYDRAULIC FLOW RATE. If the ow rate to the tool is too low, the hammer (or impact) speed is reduced. If 
the ow is correct, a change in the relief pressure does not aect the impact force. Poorly designed hydraulic 
circuits can result in lower ow rates and reduced impact speeds when pressure is required during impacting.
BOLT GRADE AND THREAD RECOMMENDATIONS
Allowable bolt torque is limited by both bolt thread diameter and grade of steel in the bolt. The ID07 Impact Wrench 
is recommended for use on the following bolt grade and thread sizes:
SAE Grade 2  7/16 to 7/8 inch / 11 to 22 mm
SAE Grade 5  3/8 to 5/8 inch / 9 to 16 mm
SAE Grade 8  3/8 to 9/16 inch / 9 to 4 mm
PREPARATION PROCEDURES
CHECK POWER SOURCE
1.  Using a calibrated ow meter and pressure gauge, check that the hydraulic power source develops a ow of 
4–12 GPM/15–45 LPM at 2000 psi/140 bar. Proper ow and pressure maintain proper tool speed.
2.  Make certain that the hydraulic power source is equipped with a relief valve set to open at 2100 psi/145 bar 
minimum.
OPEN-CENTER (OC) OR CLOSED-CENTER 
(CC) OPERATION - FIG. 2
The ID07 can be congured to run on OC or CC circuits. 
1.  Determine the system type.
2.  Remove the hex plug (44) from the spring cap.
FOR OPEN-CENTER OPERATION:
Using a 3/16 in. hex, reach through the hole in the spring 
cap and turn the selector screw counter-clockwise until 
meeting resistance (from the retaining ring). Turn the 
selector clockwise and then counter-clockwise to be sure the 
selector is being stopped by the retaining ring. Do not force 
the selector screw. Open-center operation is now selected.
FOR CLOSED-CENTER OPERATION:
Using a 3/16 in. hex, reach through the hole in the spring 
cap and turn the selector screw fully clockwise. When the 
selector screw bottoms. Closed-center operation is now 
selected.
