SETUP Two Speed Operation Each Lithium Torque Gun is equipped with a two speed gearbox. The gearbox has two modes: • RUNDOWN MODE: Used to run nuts down to seated position ready to torque. • TORQUE MODE: Used for final torqueing in TORQUE ONLY and TORQUE AND ANGLE sub-modes.
Each LITHIUM gun is equipped with a universal reaction arm. The reaction arm is used to absorb and counteract any opposing forces created by the operation of the torque gun. Use the appropriately sized reaction arm or HYTORC Washer based on your application. BREAKTHROUGH PRODUCTS FOR INDUSTRIAL BOLTING...
Basic Operation Press any button to start the gun. The gun will shut itself off after 3 minutes of inactivity. See Figure 13 for the LITHIUM Torque Gun’s Main Screen Display. All gun parameters will be saved from the most recent session.
Basic Function Descriptions Torque: Allows the operator to enter the target torque that the gun will seek when the trigger is pulled and held. Angle: If an angle setting is above “0” the gun will add this angle of rotation to a completed torque operation using the maximum output of the unit.
5. Make sure the Lithium gun and fastener equipment are positioned properly. 6. Make sure the torque reaction arrangement is placed securely (HYTORC Washer, HYTORC Nut, or Reaction Arm). 7. Pull the trigger to start the torqueing operation.

HYTORC. The HYTORC Washer is a washer that fits under a standard nut and is used in conjunction with the HYTORC Washer Driver. The nut is driven by the inner sleeve of the drive. The reaction of the tool is transmitted to the outer sleeve of the HYTORC Washer drive.
(Working space for bolting, lighting, accessibility). • Install the clean, dry nut on the opposite side from which you want to tighten. • Install the HYTORC Washer on the side which you want to tighten by rotating the bolt clockwise until it is hand tight.
Figure 17 - Installing Set Screw on HYTORC Washer Driver Installing HYTORC Washer Driver • The set screw for fastening the HYTORC Washer Driver is aligned with the milled recess in the ring gear of the tool. See Figure 18 and Figure 19.
• Put the tool in HYTORC Washer mode (Refer to the Options section) • Place the HYTORC Washer Driver on the battery powered tool and tighten the set screw. • Engage the HYTORC Washer Driver and tool with the nut by placing it over the top of the bolt to be tightened.
MAINTENANCE Preventive Maintenance Even though the LITHIUM Torque Gun can operate virtually maintenance free; good care, proper repairs and preventive maintenance will contribute significantly to longer lasting tool life. • Sufficient cooling must always be ensured. The cooling vents must be kept clean, free of adhering dirt and dust, and may not be closed for any reason.
