2. With the FORWARD/REVERSE switch in the REVERSE running position, and
holding the wrench firmly in BOTH HANDS, pull the trigger. The nut/bolt will
be impacted repeatedly until it is loosened.
IMPORTANT: Release the trigger as soon as 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/bolts.
4. Soak rusted nuts/bolts in penetrating oil, and break rust seal before twisting
off with the wrench.
TIGHTENING A NUT/BOLT
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/bolt.
2. With the FORWARD/REVERSE selector in the clockwise (FORWARD) running
position and holding the wrench firmly in BOTH HANDS, pull the trigger.
3. Run each nut/bolt 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 briefly 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/bolts meets
the vehicle manufacturer’s recommendations.
DISCONNECTING THE AIR SUPPLY
1. Do not disconnect the hose until the supply is isolated at a shut-off valve.
2. Once the pressure has been isolated, disconnect the air supply hose.
3. Shut down the compressor at the end of the session.
WARNING: ENSURE THAT THE CORRECT SOCKET IS BEING USED FOR THE
NUTS/BOLTS ON YOUR PARTICULAR VEHICLE. AN INCORRECT SOCKET
SIZE IS LIKELY TO DAMAGE THE HEADS OF THE BOLTS/NUTS.
