Only use the tools for the purposes for which they have been designed. Do not force small tools or accessories to do the job of a larger tool. HYTORC can develop customized accessories to ensure safe and simple operation. Contact your local HYTORC representative for more information.
Make sure that the oil filler cap is placed on the oil filling point. 2.2.2 Pneumatic hoses • Only use HYTORC pneumatic hoses. • Do not modify the pneumatic hoses in any way. • Make sure that the pneumatic hoses are securely connected.
• Make sure that the socket is secured to the tool. • Do not use common extension pieces or step-up/step-down adapters. HYTORC can develop customized accessories to ensure safe and simple operation. Contact your local HYTORC representative for more information.
Liability HYTORC cannot be held responsible for injury or damage that results from unintended use of the equipment. The equipment is designed and intended only for the purpose described in the relevant documents. Uses not described in the relevant documents are considered unintended uses and can result in injury or damage.
The jGun pneumatic socket wrench is a tool used for both your torque and tension applications. Different reaction arms and sockets can be used with the tool. HYTORC pneumatic tools have a repeatable accuracy of ± 5%. The air consumption is up to 1,500 l/min.

Installation Procedure Connect the air supply to the compressed air inlet (F). Use an air hose with an internal diameter larger than 3/4". HYTORC recommends to use an air hose with an internal diameter of 1". Note: • The air supply pressure must be between 6.2 bar (90...
Reaction arms Reaction arms The reaction arms can be used together with hydraulic tools, pneumatic tools and electric tools. There are different types of reaction arms to operate the tool. Standard reaction arm (360°) The length of the reaction arm is fixed. One standard heavy-duty socket must be used together with the reaction arm.
Reaction arms Procedure Place the socket over the nut as far as possible. Place the reaction arm as shown. Adjust the reaction arm as close to the flange surface as possible. Place the tool as shown. Straight TPF reaction arm The length of the reaction arm is adjustable.
Reaction arms Straight WTCT reaction arm with reaction cup The length of the reaction arm is adjustable. One standard heavy-duty socket must be used together with the reaction arm. Procedure Place the socket over the nut as far as possible. Place the reaction arm as shown.
Reaction arms Curved reaction arm with dual-end reaction cup The length of the reaction arm is fixed. Procedure Place the socket over the nut as far as possible. Place the reaction arm as shown. Make sure that the reaction cups are placed over the reaction points completely.
Reaction arms Procedure Place the socket over the nut as far as possible. Place the reaction arm as shown. Place the tool as shown. 5.7.2 Adjustable length The length of the reaction arm is adjustable. One standard heavy-duty socket must be used together with the reaction arm.
Reaction arms Procedure For the lowest reaction force, choose a reaction point as far away as possible. Place the reaction arm as shown. Place the sockets over the nuts as far as possible. Place the tools as shown. U-shaped dual-tool interconnect reaction arm The length of the reaction arm is adjustable.
Reaction arms Procedure Place the sockets over the nuts as far as possible. Place the reaction arm as shown. Place the tools as shown. 5.11 Reaction ring Multiple standard heavy-duty sockets must be used together with the reaction arm. Procedure Place the sockets over the nuts as far as possible.
Place the reaction arm as shown. Place the tool as shown. 5.13 HYTORC Washer ™ double-drive socket Procedure Place the HYTORC Washer ™ under the regular nut. Place the double-drive socket with the tool over the nut and reaction washer completely. 5.14 HYTORC LoadDISC ™...
Reaction arms Procedure Place the HYTORC LoadDISC ™ under the regular nut. Place the double-drive socket with the tool over the nut and reaction washer completely. Lock the double-drive socket with the tool onto the reaction washer using the locking lever.
Securing the sockets and reaction arms Securing the sockets and reaction arms Sockets and reaction arms must be secured to prevent injuries and damage to the equipment. There are different types of heavy-duty sockets to use with the tool: 6-point sockets / 12-point sockets (regular / high) 6-point hex sockets / 12-point hex sockets (regular / high) Eccentric sockets Customized sockets...
Securing the sockets and reaction arms Securing the sockets (type 2) Procedure Fit the securing clip (B) to the socket (A) as shown. Securing the reaction arm onto the spline shaft Procedure Slide the reaction arm (A) over the drive shaft (B) as shown. Make sure that the hex bolt (C) aligns with the hole (D).
Operation Operation Inspections before use Make sure that: • the air supply is correct. • the air supply is fully unrolled and not kinked, twisted or damaged. • all couplings and other connections are tight and not damaged or deformed. •...
Operation Torque 7.3.1 Pressure/torque chart The maximum operating pressure for all HYTORC FRLs is 6.2 bar (90 psi). Warning: • Make sure that the maximum operating pressure of the FRL is not higher than the maximum permitted pressure of 6.2 bar (90 psi).
Operation Direction of rotation 7.4.1 Determining the direction of rotation Caution: • When you use fasteners with a left handed thread, the directions of LOOSEN and TIGHTEN are the opposite. Procedure To tighten a bolted connection, place the tool onto the bolt as LOOSEN shown.
Always set the pressure as low as possible to loosen the nut or bolt. • If you must constantly use a high torque to loosen the nut or the bolt, use a heavier HYTORC tool. Contact your local HYTORC representative for more information. Procedure Make sure that the direction of rotation is set correctly.
• Make sure that the tool are free of dirt and dust. • Clean dirty hose couplings. Replace defective hose couplings. Maintenance by HYTORC • Have the tool disassembled, cleaned, inspected and lubricated at least once a year. • When the tool is dirty because of sand or another abrasive, have the tool fully disassembled, cleaned, inspected and lubricated immediately.
