Releasing ® 1. Fit the Pneutorque with the correct size impact or high quality socket to suit the fastener to be released. TIP: For added safety it is recommended to secure the socket to the drive square. This is often achieved using a pin and O ring, see socket manufacturer for guidance. 2.
All other maintenance and repair should be carried out by Norbar or a Norbar distributor. Maintenance intervals will depend on the tool usage and the environment in which it is being used. The maximum recommended maintenance and recalibration interval is 12 months.
Fit new screw and tighten between 4 N·m to 5 N·m (for PTM52) or 8 N·m to 9 N·m (for PTM72/92/119) or insert new spring pin. Connect air supply. TIP: If the drive square fails continually then seek advice from Norbar or a Norbar distributor. Calibration ® To maintain the Pneutorque accuracy it is recommended the tool is recalibrated at least every 12 months.
TROUBLE SHOOTING The following is only a guide, for more complex faults please contact Norbar or a Norbar distributor. Problem Solution Check the power supply is correctly plugged in. No display when power is switched on. Check electrical power supply and fuse in plug (if fitted).
