DIGITAL Overview The jGun DIGITAL Pneumatic Torque Tool is designed to safely and accurately deliver up to 8,000 ft-lbs of torque onto a fastener. This is accomplished using a patented planetary gearbox torque multiplier system and an appropriate reaction arm or HYTORC Reaction Washer™ and HYTORC Nut™. The torque multiplier produces torque ratios of up to 4180:1 while the Reaction Arm or Washer is used to absorb the high counter rotational force produced as the final torque value is reached.
Inspect the tool before each use. Replace any obviously worn or damaged parts. • When not in use, store the jGun DIGITAL and jGun DIGITAL accessories in the plastic storage case supplied with the tool. Do not expose the gun to high humidity or large temperature varia- tions.
Ensure that air line fittings are tight and leak free. Do not over tighten air line fittings. • Open the air supply connected to the jGun DIGITAL unit and run the jGun DIGITAL while setting the torque on the display.
