Operating Instructions
STAGE 6 Using the same noted tightening sequence, apply the full torque value specified in the torque data.
STAGE 7 Working in a clockwise (or anti-clockwise) direction, make a final pass around the flange, tightening each
bolt to the full torque value specified in the torque data.
STAGE 8 Following completion of Stage 7, using a hammer, “ring” each nut to ensure that each bolt has been cor-
rectly loaded and that no slack bolts remain.
Maintenance and Preventative Maintenance
Inspect hoses and fittings before every use. Connections must be clean and properly connected before each use.
Replace worn or damaged fittings. Keep tools clean and protected from damage.
Post-Use Maintenance
In order to keep the TWSD torque wrench in good working condition, it is recommended that simple post-use main-
tenance be carried following each period of use.
TWSD Torque wrench
1. Wipe away any debris that may have accumulated, particularly around the square drive area, reaction arm
splines and hydraulic couplings.
2. Check the following areas :
-
Hydraulic Couplings for signs of damage - replace if evident.
-
Swivel Manifold. Ensure the spiral retaining ring is present and fitted correctly.
-
Ensure the Guard is present and securely attached. Replace / re-attach as necessary.
-
Remove the square drive from the torque wrench and inspect for damage, cracks, etc. Re-lubricate
the bearing journals using ‘Lithium Complex EP Grease’ and replace the square drive.
Note that that the torque tool drive components must be lubricated using the specified product only. Using alternative lubri-
cants will affect the torque tool output and possibly lead to premature component failures.
3. It is preferable to lightly spray the torque wrench with water repellent spray (WD40), prior to placing back into
storage.
Hoses and Ancillaries
1. Clean and inspect each hydraulic hose and quick connect coupling. Check the entire length of the hose for cuts,
abrasions and damage. Any evidence of hose damage and the entire hose must be replaced.
2. Coat each quick connect coupling with a water repellent spray (WD40).
Maintenance, Servicing and Warranty
In addition to post-use maintenance, and to ensure that the Product Warranty remains valid, it is recommended that
routine maintenance and servicing be carried out by the Manufacturer or authorized Service Centre.
