PLACING THE TOOL IN SERVICE
3. After having turned the pump on and presetting the pressure for the correct torque, depress
the remote control button to advance the piston assembly. If the notch in the piston rod did not
engage the retract pin in the ratchet link when the link was joined to the housing, it will engage the
pin automatically during the rst advance stroke.
4. When the link is connected to the cylinder and the wrench is started, the reaction surface of the
wrench will move against the contact point and the nut will begin to turn.
5. When the nut is no longer turning and the pump gauge reaches the preset pressure, release
the remote control button. The piston rod will retract when the button is released. Under normal
conditions, an audible “click” will be heard as the tool resets itself.
6. Continue to cycle the tool until it “stalls” and the preset psi/torque has been attained.
7. Cycle the tool one last time to ensure full total torque.
MARINE MOLY GREASE
Lubrication frequency is dependent on factors known only to the user. The amount of contaminants in
the work area is one factor. Tools used in a clean room environment will obviously require less service
than a tool used outdoors and dropped in loose dirt or sand. Marine Moly Grease is formulated not to
wash out of the tool in areas where lubrication is critical. Whenever lubrication is required, lubricate as
follows:
1. Separate the low prole cylinder from the ratchet link if they are joined.
2. After wiping off the old grease, apply a daub of Marine Moly Grease to the hooking notch on the
piston rod and wipe a lm of Marine Moly Grease onto the sides and faces of the two sliders.
3. Disassemble the ratchet link as instructed in the Maintenance Section and wash the components
in a suitable cleaning solution in a well ventilated area.
4. Dry the components, then wipe a lm of Marine Moly Grease onto the wear surface of both side
plate sleeves and the hubs of the ratchet.
5. Spread a light lm of Marine Moly Grease onto the inner faces of both side plates covering the
area where the drive plate and drive segment travel. DO NOT pack the teeth of the drive segment
or ratchet with lube. It can prevent the teeth from engaging properly.
6. Reassemble the ratchet link as instructed in the Maintenance Section.
