PAGE 2 OF 16 ISSUE 1 09 2005 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. Any other use is not recommended. The use of ear protectors is recommended.
PAGE 3 OF 16 ISSUE 1 09 2005 INTRODUCTION ® The Pneutorque PTM72mm series are air driven power tools designed for applying torque to threaded fasteners. There are models to cover torque capacities of 1000 N.m and 2000 N.m. These models are available in 2 types: Stall Tool These tools use the air pressure set on an external pressure regulator to determine the stall torque.
PAGE 4 OF 16 ISSUE 1 09 2005 FEATURES AND FUNCTIONS REPLACEABLE DRIVE SQUARE All tools are fitted with either ¾” (19mm) or 1” (25.4mm) drive square that can easily be replaced. 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 plate.

PAGE 8 OF 16 ISSUE 1 09 2005 SETTING TORQUE FOR BOLT TIGHTENING______________________________________ STALL TOOLS ________________________________________________________________ These tools use the air pressure set on an external pressure regulator unit to determine the stall torque. They are supplied with an Air Pressure Graph which relates torque output to air pressure. Set the torque output as follows:- 1.

PAGE 9 OF 16 ISSUE 1 09 2005 NOTE: THE TORQUE REGULATOR WILL NOT GIVE FULL CONTROL OVER THE ENTIRE RANGE OF THE TOOL. THE RANGE OF THE REGULATOR IS FROM FULL TORQUE TO APPROXIMATELY 50% OF FULL TORQUE VALUE. TIP: If a lower torque level is required it may be achieved by reducing the mains air pressure to the tool.
PAGE 10 OF 16 ISSUE 1 09 2005 OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS WARNING: KEEP HANDS CLEAR OF THE REACTION ARM. 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.

PAGE 11 OF 16 ISSUE 1 09 2005 B. 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. Ensure the clockwise/counter-clockwise selector is correctly set. Rotate the handle into a convenient position relative to the reaction arm.
Any other maintenance or repairs should be carried out by Norbar or a Norbar approved agent and should form part of a service. Service intervals will depend on the type of usage of the tools and the environment in which they are being used.

PAGE 13 OF 16 ISSUE 1 09 2005 DRIVE SQUARE:- ______________________________________________________________ To avoid internal damage (especially due to torque overload), the output drive square has been designed to shear first. This saves major internal damage and allows easy square removal. Figure 10 The drive square can be replaced with either a ¾”...
