    Troubleshooting Troubleshooting Try to find a solution for the problem using the tables. If you cannot find a solution for the problem, contact your local HYTORC representative. SYMPTOM PROBABLE CAUSE REQUIRED ACTION Gauge shows pressure build-up but 1. Couplings loose or inoperative 1.
  • Page 32 1. Run test #5. Re-Plumb system as necessary. 2. Multiple hoses in even numbers 2. As plumbed, HYTORC hoses may only be joined together in odd numbers ONLY. If it is necessary to use 2,4,6 hoses - make an adapter from spare high pressure couplings and nipples.
  • Page 33 Troubleshooting (Cont’d.) SYMPTOM PROBABLE CAUSE REQUIRED ACTION Gauge records no pressure 1. Gauge connection is loose 1. Tighten coupling. 2. Bad gauge 2. Replace gauge 3. Pump will not build pressure 3. See cylinder pressure will not build pressure- above 4.
  • Page 34: Tests

    Test #5 THIS TEST SHOULD BE RUN PRIOR TO EVERY USE OF A HYTORC TOOL Connect the tool, pump, and hoses together as normal. Cycle the pump several times. Cycle the system once more and observe the sequence of operation. As you depress the advance button, the tool drive should turn about.

    Bolt / Torque / HYTORC Bolt / Torque / HYTORC The data below is based on bolts lubricated to manufacturer’s specifications. Due to variations in friction, we recommend in extreme cases to check with the bolt manufacturer, as this chart represents a guideline only.
  • Page 43: Square / Allen Drive Working Torque

    Square / Allen drive working torque DRIVE SIZE: The square or hex drive of each HYTORC is limited in its maximum output by its material and its engagement area. Since your HYTORC uses specially suited alloy steel for its drive members, the following maximum torque output can be achieved without drive failure, provided the reaction member abuts close to the same plane as the nut to be turned.
