IMPORTANT: Release the trigger immediately the nut begins to loosen.
3. Jack up the vehicle according to the vehicles handbook so that the wheel
is clear of the ground, then proceed to fully undo the wheel nuts.
4. Soak rusted nuts in penetrating oil, and break rust seal before twisting off
with the wrench.
TIGHTENING A NUT
1. Start the nut by hand, ensuring it is not cross threaded, then with the
appropriate socket installed on the wrench, place it on the nut.
2. With the FORWARD/NEUTRAL/REVERSE switch in the clockwise (FORWARD)
running position, and holding the wrench firmly in BOTH HANDS, pull the
trigger.
3. Run each nut up in turn until it is ‘nipped’ up only - do not tighten. When all
nuts are nipped up, tighten progressively by pulling the trigger fully and
allowing the action to operate for 3 to 4 impacts
only
to prevent
overtightening.
4. ALWAYS finish tightening with a torque wrench. The weight of the vehicle
will need to be placed on the wheel to prevent it from rotating while the
nuts are tightened. Ensure the final torque applied to the nuts meets the
vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations.
DISCONNECTING THE AIR SUPPLY
1. Do not disconnect the air supply hose until the compressor has been shut
down and the compressed air pressure released.
2. Once the pressure has been released, disconnect the air supply hose from
the tool.
WARNING: ENSURE THAT THE CORRECT SOCKET IS BEING USED FOR THE
NUTS ON YOUR PARTICULAR VEHICLE. AN INCORRECT SOCKET SIZE IS
LIKELY TO DAMAGE THE HEADS OF THE BOLTS/NUTS.
