SECTION II INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING YOUR NEW HYTORC -continued from the previous page- 2-3 ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS Ensure proper power availability to prevent motor failure or dangerous electrical overloading. Compare the motor nameplate for required amperage. Do not use electric pump, if three prong electrical plug is not whole. Minimize the length of extension cords and be sure they are of adequate wire size, with ground connectors.

SECTION IV OPERATION – HYTORC and Clamp -continued from the previous page- LoaDISC 4-2 HYTORC Tensioning LoaDISC 6. Verify proper socket engagement by momentarily pressurizing tool. If tool remains stationary, operate normally until tool “STALLS OUT” 7. Should tool rotate during initial pressurizing: A.
SECTION IV OPERATION – HYTORC and Clamp -continued from the previous page- LoaDISC 4-3 HYTORC De-tensioning LoaDISC 1. Set pump to maximum pressure. 2. Place tooling to disengage the nut and the with “LOOSENING” side facing the operator. LoaDISC 3. Verify proper socket engagement by momentarily pressurizing tool. If tool remains stationary, operate normally until the nut is loose.
SECTION IV OPERATION – HYTORC and Clamp -continued from the previous page- LoaDISC 4-4 HYTORC Lubrication Instruction & Trouble Shooting LoaDISC STEP 1: Make sure all threads and surfaces are free of dirt or grit.
