EC Declaration - ISO 12100:2010(E) 6.4 Information for use 6.4.1 General requirements 6.4.1.1 Drafting information for use is an integral part of the design of a machine (see Figure 2). Information for use consists of communication links, such as texts, words, signs, signals, symbols or diagrams, used separately or in combination to convey information to the user.
Page 15
The warning devices shall be designed and located such that checking is easy. The information for use shall prescribe regular checking of warning devices. The attention of designers is drawn to the possibility of “sensorial saturation”, which can result from too many visual and/or acoustic signals and which can also lead to defeating the warning devices.

jGun SAFETY Only qualified personnel who have thoroughly read this document may operate this tool. Failure to safely operate this tool may result in serious injury or death. • Inspect all jGun components as they are removed from the shipping container. If damage is found to any component, contact your shipper immediately.
• If using the HYTORC Washer, follow installation instructions in HYTORC Washer Over- view. • Clean the reaction arm and jGun barrel mating surfaces before installing the reaction arm.

4-1/4 inches 19,500 401,400 lbs NOTE: The Data Above is based on bolts lubricated to manufacturer’s specifications. Due to a variation in friction, HYTORC recommends in extreme cases to check with the bolt manufacturer, as the chart represents a guideline only.
2. Determine the air pressure needed to achieve the desired torque by consulting the Pressure/ Torque Conversion Chart provided with each tool. 3. Open the air supply connected to the FRL unit and run the torque wrench while setting the pressure on the gauge.
5. Ensure that the reaction arm is placed firmly against a stationary surface such as an adjacent nut, a flange, or equipment housing. (If using the HYTORC™ reaction washer in place of a standard reaction arm ensure that it is setup according to the steps in the HYTORC Reaction Washer Overview section.)
1. Set the FRL Pressure to max PSI as listed on Pressure/Torque Conversion Chart. 2. Fully engage the torque wrench socket on the nut. 3. Either place the reaction arm firmly against a stationary surface or engage the HYTORC Washer Driver over the reaction washer.
Excess lubricant will release from this opening upon initial operation. Calibration HYTORC provides a pressure / torque conversion chart with every tool. The stated accuracy is +/- 5%. If you properly maintain your tool and keep it in good working condition, it will stay within this stated accuracy.
jGun® DUAL SPEED Pneumatic Torque Tool The jGun® DUAL SPEED is another innovation of our pneumatic torque wrenches. It gives a user the ability to select between 2 speeds; high speed or maximum torque. Physically, the DUAL SPEED gun is identical to the DUAL SPEED jGun, with the exception of the clutch wheel located on the barrel of the gun which guides the shifting mechanism through a twisting action rather than the push and pull of the standard DUAL SPEED jGun.
Shifting Between Modes The DUAL SPEED gun has two settings: High Speed and Maximum Torque. Figure 13. High Speed Setting (Left) and Maximum Torque Setting (Right) High Speed Setting (NEW STYLE SHIFTER COLLAR) • To shift into high speed mode, push shifter collar down towards the nose of the gun and turn counter-clockwise (NEW STYLE SHIFTER COLLAR) Maximum Torque Setting...
• Place the tool in its High Speed Mode and spin the HYTORC Washer down to the desired position. After completing this, run the standard nuts down until they reach the HYTORC Washer already in place in the stud.
Filter/Regulator/Lubricator (FRL) UNIT Overview A Filter/Regulator/Lubricator (FRL) Unit is provided with every jGun and must be used in conjunction with the tool. In addition, the FRL Unit must be used with the 12’ hose provided for connection to the jGun to ensure the tool’s durability. The FRL Unit removes water and foreign material from your air sup- ply, regulates the air pressure, and mixes pneumatic tool oil into the air to keep your jGun lubricated.
• FRL maintenance and repair must be performed by a qualified pneumatic technician. • Modifying an FRL or FRL accessory is dangerous and invalidates the warranty. • Inspect the unit before each use. Replace any obviously worn or damaged parts. •...
FRL SETUP AND USE Proper setup and use of the FRL unit will ensure accurate results and safe operation. The three compo- nents of the FRL must be checked individually to ensure correct operation. • Empty the filter reservoir before use. •...

Figure 17. FRL Unit – Lubricator 2/3 Full of Oil e. If needed, refill the reservoir as described on page 21. f. Reattach the lubricator by aligning the lines on the filter reservoir and FRL body, and pushing up on the reservoir, then twisting the reservoir to lock it in place. The black locking button should snap into its original position.
Figure 18. Adjusting FRL Regulator Filling the Lubricator Reservoir To fill the lubricator reservoir: 1. Push the black square button down to unlock the reservoir. 2. Twist the lubricator reservoir until the two lines on the lubricator body and the lubricator reservoir are aligned.
Adjusting the Flow To adjust the oil flow of the FRL device: 1. Remove any attachments from the tool. 2. Run the tool while watching the rate at which oil drips through the acrylic view-glass on the lubricator unit. Figure 19. Adjusting FRL Oil Flow 3.
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.
