SECTION IV
TORC POWER PACKS
4-1
General Information
All TORC Power Packs operate in a pressure range from 500 to 10,000 PSI and are fully adjustable. They
have been engineered and designed for portability and high flow for increased speed. Before using your TORC
power pack, check the following points:
• Is the reservoir filled with oil?
• Where is the closest electrical outlet at the job site?
• Is there enough air pressure (100 PSI) and flow at the job site? (Air units only)
• Is the gauge mounted and rated for 10,000 PSI?
• Is the oil filler plug securely in place?

Working Pressure
The Pump’s maximum working pressure is 10,000 PSI(700 kg/cm
2
). Make sure all hydraulic equipment and
accessories are rated for 10,000 PSI operating pressure.

Hydraulic Connections
Never disconnect or connect hydraulic hoses or fittings without first unloading the wrench. Unplug the electrical
cord of the pump, and open all hydraulic controls several times to ensure that the system has been depressurized. If
the system includes a gauge, double check the gauge to ensure pressure has been released.
When making a connection with quick disconnect couplings, make sure the couplings are fully engaged.
Threaded connections such as fittings, gauges etc. must be clean, securely tightened, and leak free.
CAUTION: Loose or improperly threaded couplers can be potentially dangerous if pressurized.
However, severe over tightening can cause premature thread failure. Fittings need to be only
tightened secure and leak free. Never grab, touch, or in any way come in contact with a hydraulic
pressure leak. Escaping oil could penetrate the skin and cause injury.
Do not subject the hose to potential hazards such as sharp surfaces, extreme heat or heavy
objects. Do not allow the hose to kink and twist. Inspect the hose for wear before it is used.
