This manual is designed to provide you with the basic knowledge required to operate and maintain your wrench. Please read this manual carefully and follow the instructions provided. If you have any questions regarding your HTL Wrench, please call us on +44 (0) 1670 700 018 or alternatively email us: sales@htl-worldwide.com.
Don’t force small tools or attachments to do the job of a larger tool. Don’t use a tool for purposes not intended. HTL can develop custom accessories for your job to ensure safe and simple operation. Contact your local HTL representative for more information on our custom engineering abilities.

All tools are equipped with shrouds and/or cover plates to cover up moving internal parts. If shrouds are missing or damaged, please contact your local HTL representative for repair. A free loaner tool will be made available to you during the time of repair.
If tool operates backwards, couplings are reversed. HTL hoses may only be joined together in odd numbers only, 1, 3, 5 etc or please contact HTL for bespoke lengths to suit your requirements. Loose or improper threaded fittings can be potentially dangerous if pressurised, yet, severe CAUTION: over tightening can cause premature thread failure.

All HTL torque wrenches are supplied completely assembled and ready for use. A HTL hydraulic power pack (for use with your HTL wrench) is recommended to provide the speed, pressure, and portability that makes your HTL system efficient and accurate.
To avoid tool malfunction, do not reverse connectors. IMPORTANT: Connect the twinline hose to the uniswivel as shown below: Ensure the connectors are fully engaged and screwed closely and completely together. OUTSIDE UK: +44 (0) 1670 700 018 HTL-Operating-Instructions-DS.indd 10 11/04/2017 10:15...
Reaction Arm All HTL torque wrenches are equipped with a universal reaction arm. These reaction arms are employed to absorb and counteract forces created as the unit operates. The reaction arm should extend in the same direction of the Square Drive; however, slight adjustments may be made to suit your particular application.
An example of finding the torque required is as follows: Assume you are going to use a HTL-W2 tool to torque a 1 ¼ bolt to 835 ft.lbs. First check the serial no. on the tool corresponds to the torque chart. On the left hand side of the chart is the torque values.
Once your target pressure is set and locked, cycle the pump once more to ensure that your pressure setting did not change as you turned down the knurled knob Always adjust the regulator pressure up, never down.

Each time the cylinder is extended and retracted, it is called a cycle. Successive cycles are made until the wrench stalls at the preset torque. OUTSIDE UK: +44 (0) 1670 700 018 HTL-Operating-Instructions-DS.indd 14 11/04/2017 10:15...

Repeat this process until the fastener can be removed by hand. If the bolt does not loosen with the above procedure. it is an indication that you require the next NOTE: larger size tool to loosen the bolt.

Preventative Maintenance • Lubrication All moving parts should periodically be coated with HTL Pro-Moly grease. Under harsh environmental conditions, cleaning and lubricating should be performed more frequently. • Hydraulic Hoses Hoses should be checked for cracks and leaks before, and after each job. Hydraulic fittings can become plugged with dirt and should be flushed periodically.
NOTE: backwards! Male to Female and Female to Male. This will cause the system to operate backwards. If your hose isn’t long enough, connect 3 hoses together, move your pump or call HTL for a longer hose assembly. OUTSIDE UK: +44 (0) 1670 700 018 HTL-Operating-Instructions-DS.indd 18...
