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, flange 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, swivels, or inlets.
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 first 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 and 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. Once the nut stops rotating, cycle the tool one last time to achieve total torque.
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 out-doors 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 profile 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 in
piston rod and wipe a film of Marine Moly Grease onto the sides and faces of the two sliders.
3. Dissemble 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 film of Marine Moly Grease onto the wear surface of both
side plate sleeves and the hubs of the ratchet.
