Safety and operating instructions
compressed air contains a small quantity of oil
e.g. supplied from a fog lubricator (DIM) or Dosol
system.
This does not apply to turbine tools, which should
be kept oil free.
Compressed air connection
• The machine is designed for a working pressure
(e) of 6–7 bar = 600–700 kPa = 87–102 psi.
• Blow out the hose before connecting.
Handling
Tightening torque
For accurate operation and safety, the tightening
torque of the nut runner must be set correctly in rela-
tion to the screw joint. Check the tightening torque
given to the joint in question.
The air pressure is set at a suitable level – depend-
ing upon the required tightening torque – with the
aid of a compressed air regulator. Installation of an
Atlas Copco regulator is recommended.
Verification of tightening torque
Atlas Copco Torque Analyser, ACTA 3000, plus an
appropriately-sized in-line transducer, IRTT together
with the available test joints are recommended
equipment.
Maintenance
Rust protection and internal cleaning
Water in the compressed air, dust and wear particles
cause rust and sticking of vanes, valves etc. An air
filter should be installed close to the machine (see
'Air quality').
Service instructions
Overhaul and preventive maintenance is recommen-
ded at regular intervals once per year or after maxim-
um 100.000 tightenings depending on which occurs
sooner. More frequent overhaul may be needed, if
used at high torque and long tightening times. If the
machine not is working properly, it should immedi-
ately be taken away for inspection.
The strainer at the air inlet and the exhaust silencer
should be cleaned frequently or replaced in order to
prevent clogging, which decreases the capacity.
At the overhauls, all parts should be cleaned accur-
ately and defective or worn parts (i.e. O-rings, vanes)
should be replaced.

Cleaning
Clean all parts thoroughly in white spirit or similar
cleaning agent.
To prevent clogging and decreased power, it could
be necessary to clean the strainer (if used) and the
exhaust filter between the overhauls.
Inspection
After the cleaning, inspect all parts. Damaged and
worn parts should be replaced.
Lubrication
It is important to lubricate regularly to get maximum
performance and trouble-free operation. The motor
should be lubricated with oil; i.e. drops of oil can be
dropped either into the compressed air or directly
into the air inlet.
When making the regular general overhaul of the
machine, the throttle valve, ratchet attachment, ball
bearings and needle bearings should be lubricated
with grease.
Use good quality lubricants. The oils and greases
supplied by the oil companies mentioned below are
examples of lubricants which we can recommend.
