SETTING TORQUE FOR RELEASING BOLT ________________________________________
NOTE:
THIS PROCEDURE IS ONLY APPLICABLE TO BI-DIRECTIONAL TOOLS.
The tools are designed to give a slightly higher torque in
counter-clockwise rotation. This may allow some tight bolts
to be released without the need to set a higher air pressure.
1. Ensure the Clockwise/Counter-clockwise Selector is correctly set.
2. Pull trigger to loosen fastener.
TIP: Increase air pressure slightly if fastener will not release.
Figure 3
WARNING:
EXCEEDING THE MAXIMUM AIR PRESSURE AS STATED ON THE
TOOL WILL CAUSE OVERLOADING AND MAY LEAD TO SERIOUS
DAMAGE.
WARNING:
CHANGING THE MAINS AIR PRESSURE AFTER SETTING THE
LUBRO CONTROL UNIT WILL CHANGE THE STALL TORQUE
VALUE.
TORQUE REACTION ___________________________________________________________
When the Pneutorque® is in operation the reaction foot rotates in the opposite direction to the output drive
square and must be allowed to rest squarely against a solid object or surface adjacent to the bolt to be
tightened. (See figure 4).
WARNING:
ALWAYS KEEP HANDS CLEAR OF THE REACTION FOOT WHEN THE TOOL IS IN
USE OR SERIOUS INJURY MAY RESULT.

Figure 4b (Counter-clockwise)
