SAFETY IMPORTANT: DO NOT OPERATE THE TOOL BEFORE READING THESE INSTRUCTIONS. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY OR DAMAGE TO THE TOOL. This tool is intended for use with threaded fasteners. The use of proper ear protectors is recommended. Do not use these tools in potentially explosive atmosphere as they contain grease, which may cause an explosion hazard in the presence of pure oxygen.
INTRODUCTION PTM, PTME & TrukTorque ™ tools are air driven power tools designed for applying torque ® The Pneutorque to threaded fasteners. There are models to cover torque capacities of 500 N·m to 2000 N·m. The tools use an external air pressure regulator (included in a Lubro Control Unit) to set the air pressure that controls the stall torque.
FEATURES AND FUNCTIONS Twin Motor The tools use two motors; one to quickly run-down the fastener and the other to achieve final torque. Trigger The trigger controls the flow of air. The more the trigger is pressed the more air flows into the tool. This allows for slow positioning of socket and reaction bar.
SET UP INSTRUCTIONS ® The Pneutorque set up covers the following items: ® 1. Pneutorque Hanger 2. Connecting Air Supply 3. Air Lubrication 4. Torque Reaction 5. Clockwise / Counter Clockwise Operation 6. Setting torque to tighten fastener Please complete the set up in the order shown. ®...
Air Lubrication The tool must be used with oil lubrication in the supplied air. This is achieved by using a Lubro Control Unit (not supplied). Set the air lubrication: Fill Lubro Control Unit with hydraulic oil (Shell Tellus S2M 32 or equivalent good quality hydraulic oil).

It is essential the reaction bar rests squarely against a solid object or surface adjacent to the fastener to be tightened. The contact area must be within the shaded area of Figure 2, with the contact area as large as possible.

™ Reaction Bars (TrukTorque & Nose Tool ØD ØE Extension for Truck & Bus Wheels) ™ TrukTorque 3/4" 132.5 1000 N·m 1” ™ TrukTorque 132.5 1” 1350 N·m ® When the Pneutorque is in operation the reaction bar 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 fastener to be tightened.
Clockwise/Counter-Clockwise Operation Set clockwise / counter-clockwise as required. NOTE: This setting only applies to bi-directional tools. FIGURE 4(a) – Clockwise FIGURE 4(b) – Counter - Clockwise (Arrow towards drive square (Arrow away from drive square) WARNING: FAILURE TO FULLY ENGAGE THE CLOCKWISE/COUNTER-CLOCKWISE OPERATION SELECTOR WILL RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THIS PART OF THE GEARBOX.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS WARNING: KEEP HANDS CLEAR OF THE REACTION BAR. WARNING: WHEN USING THIS TOOL IT MUST BE SUPPORTED AT ALL TIMES IN ORDER TO PREVENT UNEXPECTED RELEASE IN THE EVENT OF FASTENER OR COMPONENT FAILURE. Tightening ® Fit Pneutorque with the correct size impact or high quality socket to suit fastener.
Releasing NOTE: Only for bi-directional tools. ® Fit the Pneutorque with the correct size impact or high quality socket to suit the fastener to be released. TIP: For added safety it is recommended to secure the socket to the square drive. This is often achieved using a pin and O ring, see socket manufacturer for guidance.
Any other maintenance or repairs should be carried out by Norbar or a Norbar distributor. Maintenance intervals will depend on the tool usage and the environment in which it is being used. The maximum recommended maintenance and recalibration interval is 12 months.
Fit new screw and tighten between 4 N·m to 5 N·m (for PTM52) or 8 N·m to 9 N·m (for PTM72/92/119) or insert new spring pin. Connect air supply. TIP: If the drive square fails continually then seek advice from Norbar or a Norbar distributor. Calibration ® To maintain the Pneutorque accuracy it is recommended the tool is recalibrated at least every 12 months.
