Why is my TorcUP Power Tool pump not building up pressure?
- T
  Tracey RollinsAug 4, 2025
  If your TorcUP Power Tool pump isn't building up pressure, several factors could be at play. Begin by checking the relief valve for any defects, and consider adjusting or replacing it if necessary. Ensure that your air supply and hose size meet the recommendations outlined in the pump manual. For electric pumps, verify that the amperage, voltage, and extension cord size are compliant with the pump manual's requirements. Replace the gauge if it is defective. Also, check the oil level and replenish the pump reservoir if it's low. Lastly, inspect the pump filter for clogs; clean or replace it as needed.

What to do if my TorcUP TX-8 tightens immediately when turned on?

  Nicholas SimmonsAug 9, 2025
  If your TorcUP Power Tool tightens immediately upon activation, the hose connections are likely reversed. To correct this, depress the advance button to release the tool, then switch off the pump while it's in the advance position. Finally, reverse the hose connections.

How to fix a TorcUP Power Tool when the piston will not advance or retract?
- H
  hoffmantheresaAug 13, 2025
  If the piston of your TorcUP Power Tool isn't advancing or retracting, start by checking the coupler connections to ensure they are securely attached to both the tool and the pump. Replace any couplers that are defective. If the issue persists, the remote control switch may be faulty, requiring replacement of the switch or control pendant. Another potential cause is dirt in the direction-control valve of the pump unit, which would necessitate disassembling the pump and cleaning the valve.

What to do if the cylinder of my TorcUP TX-8 will not build up pressure?

  Emily ScottAug 18, 2025
  If your TorcUP Power Tool's cylinder isn't building up pressure, it could be due to several reasons. Start by checking the piston seal and end plug seal for leaks, and replace any defective o-rings. Also, inspect the retaining screws for shearing and replace any that are broken. Finally, a defective coupler could also be the cause, so replace any that are faulty.

Why won't the piston retract on my TorcUP TX-8 Power Tool?
- C
  Carrie GatesAug 22, 2025
  If the piston on your TorcUP Power Tool won't retract, first ensure that the hose connections are correct: the advance on the pump should connect to the advance on the tool, and the retract on the pump should connect to the retract on the tool. Next, verify that the retract hose is securely connected. Lastly, check for a broken retract pin or spring and replace them if necessary.

How to troubleshoot a TorcUP TX-8 when the ratchet will not turn?
- S
  Sara WhiteAug 27, 2025
  If the ratchet on your TorcUP Power Tool isn't turning, it could be due to a buildup of grease or dirt in the teeth of the ratchet link and drive segment. Disassemble the ratchet and clean out any grease or dirt. Alternatively, the teeth on the ratchet or drive segment may be worn or broken, requiring replacement of the damaged parts.
