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.
INTRODUCTION ® The Pneutorque 72mm series are air driven power tools designed for applying torque to threaded fasteners. An external pressure regulator (Lubro Control Unit) is needed; this allows the air pressure to be adjusted to determine the stall torque from the graph provided. There are models to cover torque capacities of 500 N∙m to 2000 N∙m.
FEATURES AND FUNCTIONS Replaceable Drive Square All tools are fitted with a ¾” (19mm) or 1” (25mm) 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.
SET UP INSTRUCTIONS WARNING: TO AVOID HAZARD FROM WHIPPING AIR HOSES MAKE ALL CONNECTIONS TO THE TOOL BEFORE TURNING ON THE AIR SUPPLY. Make sure all air hoses are clean and free from dirt. Connect the tool air inlet hose (A.) to the outlet side of the pressure regulator unit, observing air flow direction arrows.
Torque Reaction It is essential the reaction plate rests squarely against a solid object or surface adjacent to the fastener to be tightened. The contact area must be within the shaded area of Figure 3, with the contact area as large as possible.
Setting Clockwise/Counter-Clockwise Operation FIGURE 5 – Clockwise FIGURE 6 – Counter-clockwise WARNING: FAILURE TO FULLY ENGAGE THE CLOCKWISE/COUNTER- CLOCKWISE OPERATION SELECTOR WILL RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE SELECTOR VALVE. Setting Torque for Bolt Tightening 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.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS WARNING: KEEP HANDS CLEAR OF THE REACTION PLATE. 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. WARNING: CHANGING THE AIR PRESSURE AFTER SETTING THE PRESSURE REGULATOR WILL CHANGE THE STALL TORQUE VALUE.
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.
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. The drive square can be replaced with either a ¾” drive square (#18221) or a 1”...

TROUBLE SHOOTING The following is only a guide, for more complex faults please contact your local Norbar distributor or Norbar directly. Problem Likely Solutions Check air supply is functioning & connected. Check air pressure setting (at least 1 bar). Tool output does not rotate when trigger pulled.
