• Be sure your workplace is safe. Follow
the instructions in your workplace's
standard operating procedures and be
sure to observe all communicated safety
precautions.
• Do not place any part of the body
between the wrench reaction foot and
the reaction point.
• Do not place any objects between the
wrench reaction foot and the reaction
point. Keep the hoses away from the
reaction points.
• Do not stand in the line of movement
of the tool when it is in operation. If the
tool separates from the nut or bolt during
operation it will detach in that direction.
• Be aware that a nut or bolt that breaks
off during operation of the tool may
become a high velocity projectile.
• Be sure appropriate guards are securely
in position and free from damage.
• Keep your hands away from the fastener
being loosened or tightened. Tightening
and loosening nuts and bolts involves
little visible movement. However, the
pressures and loads are extreme.
• Maximum allowable operating pressure
for the S-Series torque wrench is
10,000 psi [690 bar]. Do not exceed this
pressure setting.
• Always be sure that pump is stopped
and all pressure is fully relieved (0 psi/
bar) before disconnecting or connecting
hydraulic hoses. The sudden and
uncontrolled release of pressurized oil
could occur if hoses are disconnected
while under pressure.
