The tool you have purchased permits hands-free operation from a safe distance in conjunction with a HYTORC Washer™. We recommend the use of a HYTORC Washer™ to avoid finger-pinching, over-crowded sites and to ensure hands-free bolting at least on all vertical and inverted applications, while eliminating improvisation and the use of reaction members or backup wrenches.

If you maintain your new tool properly, it will last for years to come. This manual is designed to provide you with the basic knowledge required to operate and maintain your HYTORC tool. Please read this manual carefully and follow the instructions provided. If you have any questions regarding your HYTORC tool, please call us directly at 201-512-9500 or fax 201-512-0530.
Don’t force small tools or attachments to do the job of a larger tool. Don’t use a tool for purposes not intended. HYTORC can develop custom accessories for your job to ensure safe and simple operation. Contact your local HYTORC representative for more information on our custom engineering abilities.

“ride up” or to “creep”, stop and re-adjust the reaction arm to a more solid and secure position. NOTE: For additional safety, a HYTORC Washer can be used in place of the reaction arm; call your HYTORC representative for more information.
If tool operates backwards, couplings are reversed. HYTORC hoses may only be joined together in odd numbers ONLY. If it is necessary to use 2,4,6 hoses - make an adapter from spare high pressure couplings and nipples.
The World’s Most Trusted Industrial Bolting Systems Electrical Connections Ensure proper power availability to prevent motor failure or dangerous electrical overloading. Compare the motor nameplate for required amperage. Do not use electric pump if the 3-prong electrical plug is not whole. Minimize the length of extension cords and be sure they are of adequate wire size, with ground connections.
All HYTORC Torque Machines are supplied completely assembled and ready for use. A HYTORC Hydraulic Power Pack (for use with your HYTORC machine) is recommended to provide the speed, pressure, and portability that makes your HYTORC System efficient and accurate.
An example of finding the desired torque required is as follows: Assume you are going to use a HYTORC STEALTH tool to torque a 1-114” bolt to 1,265 ft lbs. Start by referring to the proper torque chart shipped with your tool. Read straight down to the number closest to 1,265 ft lbs, which in this case is 1,280 - about 1.5% over the targeted torque...
The World’s Most Trusted Industrial Bolting Systems Setting the Pressure on the Pump To set the pressure on the pump, follow this procedure: T-Handle 1. Loosen the knurled locking ring below the “T” handle on the pump’s external pressure regulator. Then turn the “T” handle (shown below) counterclockwise (CCW) until it turns freely and easily.
The World’s Most Trusted Industrial Bolting Systems IMPORTANT: The reading of full preset pressure after the cylinder is extended DOES NOT INDICATE that this pressure (torque) is applied to the bolt. It only indicates that the cylinder is fully extended and cannot turn the socket further until the tool automatically resets itself. Releasing the remote control button will retract the cylinder.
POWER PACKS General Information All HYTORC Power Packs operate in a pressure range from 500 to 10,000 PSI, and are fully adjustable. They have been engineered and designed for portability and high flow for increased speed. Before using your HYTORC power pack, check the following points: •...
Your HYTORC 115/230 hydraulic pump has been designed with an auto shut off system. The pump will shut off after about 30 seconds of non-cycling. This will prevent overheating and unnecessary wear which will prolong the life of your pump.
Important Instructions for ATEX Certified Pneumatic Pumps for Explosion Protection The device can be used in hazardous areas as follows: Explosion-proof hydraulic torque controlled bolting system HYTORC Division of UNEX Corp. 333 Route 17 North Mahwah, New Jersey 07430 U.S.A. EPS 13 ATEX 2 561 X...

Modified component: HYTORC HY-AIR Pneumatic pump must be equipped as follows: a) Solid metal spring on each male and female coupling (between coupler and fitting). 2. Component: The HYTORC hydraulic twin hose, with a nominal size of 6 mm (color mint-yellow). ATTENTION: HYTORC hydraulic twin hoses with a diameter smaller than 6mm are not suited for explosion protection.

The World’s Most Trusted Industrial Bolting Systems 3. Component: The HYTORC hydraulic torque wrench. The torque wrench must be equipped as follows: a) Solid metal spring on each male and female coupling (between coupler and fitting). b) The joints of the swivel on the hydraulic wrench must not be ANODIZED!

Conductivity of the entire system is ensured by several solid metal springs, - HYTORC Pneumatic Pump JetAIR 12.A connected securely to the hydraulic hose - HYTORC Hydraulic Twin Hose (diameter 6 mm) connected securely to the tool Explosion protection is guaranteed if: The explosion protection is only guaranteed when all springs (pneumatic pump, twin hose and tool) are attached tightly.
Failure of structural members of the tool are quite rare, but replacement parts are available from stock. All repairs to HYTORC tools may be made by reasonably experienced individuals according to these instructions.
The World’s Most Trusted Industrial Bolting Systems Preventive Maintenance - Hydraulic Power Packs HYTORC Hydraulic Power Packs are precision-built units and, as such, require a certain amount of care and maintenance. • Hydraulic Oil Oil should be completely changed after every 40 hours of operation, or at least twice a year. Always make sure the reservoir is filled with fluid.
