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.
The use of proper ear protectors is recommended.
Do not use these tools in potentially explosive atmosphere as they contain grease, which may cause an
explosion hazard in the presence of pure oxygen. These tools also contain aluminium alloy components
which may cause a hazard in certain explosive environments.
Unexpected tool movement due to reaction forces or breakage of drive square or reaction bar may cause
injuries.
Isolate the tool from all energy sources before changing or adjusting the drive square or socket.
There is a risk of crushing between the reaction bar and work piece.
Keep hands away from reaction bar.
Keep hands away from tool output.
Keep loose clothing, hair, etc. from being caught in any rotating part of the tool.
These tools require a reaction bar. See section on Torque Reaction.
Ensure all hoses are correctly fitted before switching on the air supply. This avoids the risk of injury by
whipping air hoses.
Unexpected direction of drive square movement can cause a hazardous situation.
Use only sockets and adaptors which are in good condition and are intended for use with power tools.
Pneutorque® Wrenches are non-impacting, torque controlled threaded fastener tightening tools and must
always be operated with the following:-
 Clean dry air supply with a minimum flow of 19 litres/sec (40 CFM).
 Lubro Control Unit or similar Filter, Regulator and Lubricator Unit 1/2” Bore (12 mm).
 Impact or high quality sockets.
 Reaction bar.

FEATURES AND FUNCTIONS
Twin Motor
The tools use two motors; one to quickly run-down the fastener and the other to achieve final torque.
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 bar. Once positioning is complete, the trigger must be fully
pressed for correct torque application.
Clockwise/Counter-Clockwise Selector
Tools fitted with this option can be used for tightening counter-clockwise threaded fasteners and for releasing
clockwise threaded fasteners.
Reaction Bar
The reaction bar ensures all reaction forces are contained, so that torque reaction is not passed back to the
operator. Several reaction bar styles are available, including the PTME / Nose Extension reaction where tool
access is restricted including applications on wheel nuts on heavy vehicles.
Non-Impacting
Low vibration levels make these tools comfortable and safe for the operator to use. In addition there is less
damage to the tool, socket and threaded assembly.
Replaceable Drive Square
To avoid internal damage to the tool (especially due to torque overload), the output drive square has been
designed to shear first. Pneutorque® tools are fitted with a drive square that can easily be replaced;
alternative drive square sizes are also available.
Hanger
The hanger can be used to suspend the Pneutorque® from a balancer.
Quick Tool Coupling
Air couplings supplied to allow quick tool connection and disconnection from the air hose.

SET UP INSTRUCTIONS
The Pneutorque® set up covers the following items:
1. Pneutorque® Hanger
2. Connecting Air Supply
3. Air Lubrication
4. Torque Reaction
5. Clockwise / Counter Clockwise Operation
6. Setting torque to tighten fastener
Please complete the set up in the order shown.
Pneutorque® Hanger
The Pneutorque® hanger (Figure 1-E) is designed to be used with a suitable balancer to provided
comfortable tool use. If not required the hanger can be removed.
Connecting Air Supply
WARNING: TO AVOID HAZARD FROM WHIPPING AIR HOSES MAKE ALL
CONNECTIONS TO THE TOOL BEFORE TURNING ON THE AIR SUPPLY.
Make sure all hoses are clean, in good condition and free from dirt / water.
Connect the tool air inlet hose (Figure 1-A) to the outlet side of the lubro control unit (Figure 1-B) (not
supplied), observing air flow direction arrows.
TIP: On tools supplied with quick air couplings, fit the coupling plug
to the tool inlet and the coupling socket to air hose.
To connect, push couplings together.
To disconnect, pull back lock on socket coupling.
Connect the inlet side of the lubro control unit (Figure 1-B) to the air supply (Figure 1-C) using a minimum hose
size of 1/2” bore (12mm). Avoid using 1/2” bore hoses of longer than 5 meters from the supply to the pressure
regulator unit as this will reduce the performance of the tool.
Turn on air supply and check for air leaks.

Air Lubrication
The tool must be used with oil lubrication in the supplied air. This is achieved by using a Lubro Control Unit
(not supplied).
Set the air lubrication:
a. Fill Lubro Control Unit with hydraulic oil (Shell Tellus S2M 32 or equivalent good quality hydraulic
oil).
b. Ensure the tool drive is free to rotate.
c. Run the tool by pressing the trigger.
d. Adjust Lubro Control Unit to supply 6 drops of oil per minute.
e. Release trigger.
See Lubro Control Unit Operator’s Manual for more details.
Torque Reaction

NOTE: This setting only applies to bi-directional tools.
WARNING: FAILURE TO FULLY ENGAGE THE CLOCKWISE/COUNTER-CLOCKWISE
OPERATION SELECTOR WILL RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THIS PART OF
THE GEARBOX.
Setting Torque to Tighten Fastener
The torque created by the Pneutorque® depends on the air pressure setting. All tools are supplied with an Air
Pressure Graph that gives the air pressure required to produce the correct torque output.
Set the torque output as follows:-
1. Use the Air Pressure Graph (supplied) to find the air pressure
to achieve the required torque.
2. With the tool running, adjust the Lubro Control Unit until the
correct air pressure is shown on the gauge.
IMPORTANT: THE WRENCH MUST BE FREE RUNNING WHILE ADJUSTING THE AIR PRESSURE
TO GIVE THE CORRECT SETTING.
IMPORTANT: CHECK THAT THE LUBRO CONTROL UNIT IS SUPPLYING APPROXIMATELY SIX
DROPS OF OIL PER MINUTE WHILE THE TOOL IS FREE RUNNING.

MAINTENANCE
For optimum performance and safety, regular tool maintenance is required. The user maintenance is limited
to the replacement of the drive square and the silencer. Any other maintenance or repairs 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.
TIP: Steps the user can take to reduce the amount of maintenance required include:
1. Use the tool in a clean environment.
2. Use an air compressor fitted with a dryer.
3. Ensure the Lubro Control Unit has sufficient hydraulic oil.
4. Ensure the Lubro Control Unit delivers hydraulic oil at the correct rate.
5. Ensure the Lubro Control Unit is regularly maintained, see product manual.
6. Maintain the correct torque reaction.
Air Lubrication
Add Shell Tellus S2M 32 or equivalent good quality hydraulic oil to the Lubro Control Unit.
Gearbox
Under normal operating conditions it is not necessary to re-grease the gearbox. The gearbox contains
Lubcon Turmogrease Li 802 EP or equivalent good quality grease.
Silencer
The silencer (part number 18591) must be changed every 12 months. This may be more frequent for high
tool usage or dirty environments.
TIP: Change silencer with tool upside down, as shown, to ensure internal parts (spring and valve)
are kept in place.
1. Remove M4 screw (A) (part number 25381.10) using a 2.5mm hexagon key.
2. Remove pin (B) (part number 26284) using a pin punch.
3. Pull out air inlet tube (D) with base plate & silencer.
4. Remove silencer (E) from air inlet tube.
5. Fit new silencer (part number 18591) over air inlet tube.
6. Fit air inlet tube assembly (C, D & E) into handle against spring resistance.
7. Fit pin (B) with a hammer.
8. Fit screw (A) and torque to 0.5 N·m. Do not over tighten this screw as it is likely to break the base plate
moulding.
TIP: When refitting air inlet tube assembly into handle care should be taken to ensure correct
alignment between air inlet tube and spring. It may be easier to fit the spring into air inlet tube
first and secure with a small amount of grease.

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. For drive square part
numbers see page 5.
To replace drive square:
1. Remove the air supply.
2. Support tool in a horizontal position.
3. Remove the screw or spring pin, then remove drive square.
If the square has sheared it may be necessary to use pliers to remove the broken parts.
4. Fit new drive square.
5. 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.
6. 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.
