Operating and service manual
8.3. Decommissioning
If the
alkitronic®
tools and devices are not used over
an extended period of time they should be cleaned
and stored in a dry and closable space not accessible
to children. The optimum storage temperature is
between 10° and 30°C. Rotating components must
be protected against oxidation (see pos. 8.2).
8.4 Service and maintenance
The
alkitronic®
EAF
torque multiplier is an extremely
powerful and robust product. To ensure a long life
and reliability over many years the machine must
be serviced in regular intervals (performance check,
motor check, safety inspection, calibration service).
Service intervals
The power tool must be inspected at least once per
year. In case of high usage or strain as well as many
operating hours servicing and calibration will be
necessary more frequently. In case of unusual gear
noises a lubrication of the gears is urgently recom-
mended to prevent subsequent damages.
alkitronic® EAF
torque multipliers must always be
packed in the original packaging when sent to your
alkitronic®
partner or
alki TECHNIK
GmbH.
7. Function and operation test
7.1
Visual and mechanical inspection
Battery packs, charger station, operating and dis-
play elements, case and accessories, such as e.g.
the torque brace
DMA
must be regularly inspected
for damages and must be replaced professionally
if necessary.
Keep ventilation opening unobstructed. Soiled or
blocked ventilation openings can cause malfunc-
tion and damage to the motor.
In case of reduced power, strong gear noise or
obvious severe damage an immediate repair is
necessary. Please send all devices to be repaired in
their original packaging to your nearest
alkitronic®
partner
or to
alki TECHNIK GmbH
.

Servicing / storage / maintenance
8.1 Replacing accessories
See
4.2 Preparation for bolting
– Follow steps in the
opposite direction.
8.2 Storage in lockable containers
Store
alkitronic® EAF
and the charger station in a
dry and cooled off state in the original case, or any
other closable container. Heat and damp lead to
oxidation of the gear and other components inside
the case. The consequences are malfunctioning,
damages to the electronic circuitry and motor.
Ensure that also during storage the power cable
of charger station is not squeezed in anywhere or
damaged in any way.

Technical notes
9.1
Safety shut-off general
In order to prevent faulty boltings and / or dam-
ages to the power tool the
alkitronic® EAF
torque
multiplier is
fitted with a multi-functional moni-
toring system.
If the machine switches itself off then the electronic system
has activated the self-protection mode. There is an acoustic
warning (30 second tone or until the push button (D) is re-
leased) (Fig. 3).
Notes for the
alkitronic®
Li-Ion rechargeable battery pack
Always remove the battery pack from the power
tool when not in use. Do not touch or short the con-
tacts! Although the electronic circuitry will protect
the battery packs against complete discharging, a
long life is best ensured by maintaining a sufficient
charge in the battery pack.
In order to maintain the battery pack in a fully char-
ged a trickle charge of about 70 to 75% is required
(see illustration above).
