FEATURES AND FUNCTIONS
Replaceable Drive Square
To avoid internal damage (especially due to torque overload), the output drive square has been designed to
shear first. Tools are fitted with a drive square that can easily be replaced, alternative drive sizes are also
available.
Trigger
The trigger controls the flow of air, it must be held in to operate the tool. If the operator is not present the tool
will stop.
Forward / Reverse Collar
All tools can be used for tightening as well as releasing bolts. A collar for (Forward or clockwise) and
(Reverse or anti-clockwise) is located next to the trigger for easy access.
Gearbox
For safety the gearbox and handle can turn independently, so torque reaction is never
transmitted back to the operator.
Lifting Handle
The lifting handle allows comfortable and safe use of the tool.
The PT 11 – PT 18 are supplied with a lifting ring for easy handling.
In addition the PT 13 & PT 14 are supplied on a transporting trolley (Figure 1).
Low Operator Fatigue
The tools are quiet and do not operate with an impacting or pulsing action.
Optional Transducers
Electronic torque transducers can be directly fitted for precise torque monitoring.

Torque Reaction
When the PneuTorque® is in operation the reaction arm rotates in the opposite direction to the output drive
square and must be allowed to rest squarely against a solid object or surface adjacent to the bolt to be
tightened.
WARNING: IF THE REACTION PLATE IS EXTENDED FORWARD OF THE DRIVE
SQUARE, LARGER INDUCED BENDING STRESS WILL RESULT, SO THE
PLATE MAY NO LONGER BE STRONG ENOUGH.
TIP: Take the reaction as far away from the multiplier as practical.
Fit reaction plate (‘B’ in Figure 2) to tool using bolts provided and torque to value specified on reaction arm. If
no torque is specified follow table below:

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 6, with the contact area as large as
possible.
WARNING: CARE MUST BE TAKEN TO ENSURE THAT THE REACTION ARM IS ONLY
USED WITHIN THE LIMITATIONS SHOWN IN FIGURE 6.
For special applications or where extra deep sockets must be used the standard arm may be extended but
only within the limitations shown on Figure 6. Alternative reaction devices are available.
WARNING: FAILURE TO OBSERVE THE LIMITATIONS SHOWN IN FIGURE 6 WHEN
MODIFYING STANDARD REACTION ARMS MAY RESULT IN PREMATURE
WEAR OR DAMAGE TO THE TOOL.
Standard drive square extensions MUST NOT be used as these will cause serious damage to the tool output
drive. A range of nose extensions is available for applications where access is restricted. These are
designed to support the final drive correctly.
When the PneuTorque® is in operation the reaction plate rotates in the opposite direction to the output drive
square and must be allowed to rest squarely against a solid object or surface adjacent to the bolt to be
tightened. (See Figure 7 & 8).
WARNING: ALWAYS KEEP HANDS CLEAR OF THE REACTION ARM WHEN THE
TOOL IS IN USE OR SERIOUS INJURY MAY RESULT.
TIP: For an extended tool life ensure the reaction point remains square to the multiplier, this will
minimise stress on the output square. If the multiplier tilts under load, the reaction may not
remain square.

FIGURE 9 – Collar for , or operation
Rotate collar to select for forward (clockwise), for reverse (anti-clockwise) or for off.
WARNING: FAILURE TO FULLY ENGAGE THE FORWARD/REVERSE COLLAR WILL
RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE SELECTOR VALVE.
Setting Torque for Fastener Tightening
The stall torque of these tools is determined by the air pressure set on an external lubro control unit.
Tools are supplied with an Air Pressure Graph which relates torque output to air pressure. Set the torque
output as follows:
1. Turn the collar, Figure 9, to select direction.
2. For Manual two speed tools (Part number *****.MTS) select ‘SLOW’ speed.
3. Establish the air pressure required using the Air Pressure Graph.
4. Ensure the drive square is able to free run.
5. Press and hold the trigger (‘J’ in Figure 2) and adjust the lubro control unit pressure until the correct
figure is shown on the gauge.
IMPORTANT: THE TOOL MUST BE FREE RUNNING WHILE ADJUSTING THE AIR PRESSURE TO
GIVE THE CORRECT SETTING.
WHILE THE TOOL IS FREE RUNNING CHECK THAT LUBRO CONTROL UNIT IS
SUPPLYING APPROXIMATELY SIX DROPS OF OIL PER MINUTE.
Setting Torque for Fastener Loosening
1. Ensure that the tool control system is set for the required rotation.
2. Establish maximum air pressure from the associated Air Pressure Graph or tool label.
3. Adjust the pressure regulator until the correct pressure is achieved.
WARNING: EXCEEDING THE MAXIMUM AIR PRESSURE WILL CAUSE OVERLOADING
AND MAY LEAD TO SERIOUS DAMAGE.
WARNING: CHANGING THE AIR PRESSURE AFTER SETTING THE PRESSURE
REGULATOR WILL CHANGE THE STALL TORQUE VALUE.

MAINTENANCE
To maintain optimum performance and safety, regular maintenance needs to be carried out. The only user
maintenance required on these tools is the replacement of drive squares and the silencer. 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. The maximum recommended maintenance and recalibration interval is 12 months.
TIP: Steps the operator 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.
Reaction Plate
Every week check that the bolts fastening reaction plate are tightened to the torque stamped onto the
reaction plate.
Air Lubrication
Add Fuchs Silkair VG22 or Shell Tellus S2 VX15 or equivalent good quality hydraulic oil to the Lubro unit.
Gearbox
Under normal operating conditions it is not necessary to re-grease the gearbox. The gearbox contains Shell
Gadus S2 V220 or equivalent good quality grease.
Silencer
The silencer (#16457) should be changed every 12 months.
This may be more frequent for high tool usage or dirty environments.
To change silencer:
1. Remove circlip from end of handle.
2. Slide handle to access silencer.
3. Change silencer.
4. Replace handle and circlip.
Filter
The air filter (#19188) should be changed every 12 months.
This may be more frequent for high tool usage or dirty environments.
To change filter:
1. Remove inlet air hose.
2. Remove filter from inside tool air inlet.
3. Fit new filter.
4. Replace inlet air hose.
TIP: To help removal use a small screwdriver or a pair of internal circlip pliers.

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.
