Troubleshooting

THE NUT WILL NOT LOOSEN WITH TOOL:

-Take the tool off the application and test. (Recheck fittings)
-Make sure the pump is set from 9,000 to 10,000 PSI
-Don’t force a smaller tool to do the impossible.
It can take 1.5 to 3 times the original torque to bust loose.
Example: A 2” stud according to GE/Westinghouse
should torque to 3300 ft lbs. Because of heat corrosion the torque necessary to remove
the nut may be 6600 to 9900 ft lbs.

SOCKET ISSUES:

- Is the socket being used a high quality impact socket?
(JETYD sockets are designed for the huge forces created by hydraulic wrenches)
- Insure the socket is fully engaging the nut.
- Inspect the socket for cracks before using.
- Has the socket become worn out from use on an impact wrench?
(JETYD recommends that separate sockets be used with impacts since impact tools hollow out sockets and may make them unsafe when used with a JETYD driver)
- Altered sockets are more likely to break – use with care, keep body parts clear.

TORQUE SSUES:

- Use the right torque chart. Match the model name and size to the name on the chart.
- To torque a nut to the desired load, cycle the tool until the tool stops turning. Hold down
on the rocker switch for a few seconds and check the original pressure setting.
- Always check your coupler and tool cycling before your final pass.
- In the event of “lock up” on a nut or bolt, pull on the release lever while advancing the tool until the tool is in “Neutral”
- Loosen the Jam Nut when adjusting the pressure. Retighten the nut to prevent any pressure variation.
- Always take the tool off the application when setting the pump pressure. Adjust the pressure upward and recheck your settings.
