PLACING THE TOOL IN SERVICE
CONNECTING THE TOOL
1. Attach the twin line hose to the swivel
inlets of the low prole drive cylinder
using the spring–loaded quick connect
ends.
2. Connect the opposite ends of the hose
to the pump in the same manner.
3. Push the link retaining pin out of the
low prole drive cylinder.
4. Mate the selected ratchet link to the
cylinder by inserting the end of the
cylinder opposite the swivel inlets
between the side plates of the ratchet
link. (Refer to Dwg. 1)
5. Align the holes for the link retaining pin and insert the pin through the side plates and cylinder to keep
the units joined together.
SETTING THE TORQUE
After determining the desired torque, use the torque conversion charts on pages 6 to 13 to determine the
pressure that is necessary to achieve that torque.
1. Connect the tool to the power supply and turn the pump on.
2. Depress the remote control button causing the pressure to be shown on the gauge.
3. Adjust the pressure by loosening the wing nut that locks the pressure adjustment thumbscrew.Rotate
the thumbscrew clockwise to increase the pressure and counterclockwise to decrease the pressure.
When decreasing pressure, always lower the pressure below the desired point and then bring the
gauge back up to the desired pressure.
4. When the desired pressure is reached, retighten the wing nut and cycle the tool again to conrm that
the desired pressure setting has been obtained.
Wrench Positions Dwg. 2
OPERATING THE WRENCH
The position of the tool relative to the nut determines
whether the action will tighten or loosen the nut.
(Refer to Dwg. 2 for application examples). The power
stroke of the piston assembly will always turn the ratchet
hex toward the shroud.
1. Place the ratchet hex on the nut. Make certain it is the
correct size for the nut and that it fully engages the nut.
2. Position the reaction surface against an adjacent
nut, ange or solid system component. Make certain
that there is clearance for the hoses, swivels and inlets.
DO NOT allow the tool to react against the hoses or
swivels.
