Only use the tools for the purposes for which they have been designed. Do not force small tools or accessories to do the job of a larger tool. HYTORC can develop customized accessories to ensure safe and simple operation. Contact your local HYTORC representative for more information.
Metal-to-metal contact can cause sparks. Take appropriate additional measures. • Wear hearing protection. The sound emission of HYTORC pump units is less than 80 • Make sure that the maximum operating pressure of the pump unit is not higher than the maximum permitted pressure of 700 bar (10,000 psi).
Replace damaged hydraulic hoses immediately. Replace the hydraulic hoses at least every three years. 2.2.4 Reaction arms • Only use HYTORC reaction arms. • Do not modify the reaction arms in any way. • Place the reaction arm against a solid reaction point that can handle the load.
Liability HYTORC cannot be held responsible for injury or damage that results from unintended use of the equipment. The equipment is designed and intended only for the purpose described in the relevant documents. Uses not described in the relevant documents are considered unintended uses and can result in injury or damage.
The Stealth hydraulic limited-clearance wrench is a tool used for both your torque and tension applications. Different reaction arms and sockets can be used with the tool. HYTORC hydraulic tools have an accuracy of ± 3%. Overview Electric pump unit...

Description Accessories 3.6.1 Safety handle Procedure For more convenience and safety, install the safety handle to the tool or the reaction arm. 3.6.2 BoltSafe load tester The BoltSafe load tester has a reading system and one or more sensors. The sensors monitor the bolt load in bolted joints.
Description 3.6.5 Stacking nuthead Procedure Place the adapter in the tool. Use the circlip ring to fasten the adapter. Place the adapter over the nut as far as possible. 3.6.6 Male hex drive Procedure Place the adapter in the tool. Use the circlip ring to fasten the adapter.
Installation Installation Hydraulic hoses The working pressure of the hydraulic hoses is up to 700 bar. The safety factor of the hydraulic hoses is factor 4. 4.1.1 Hydraulic hose connections Use a twin hose to connect the pump unit to the tool. A twin hose consists of two hoses. The supply hose has two ends with female couplings.
Loosen the locking ring of the female coupling from the male coupling and pull the couplings apart. Toothed screw-type safety couplings (HYTORC 716) The coupling is identical to the screw-type safe- ty couplings (type Pioneer), but both coupling are toothed.
Installation • Make sure that the hydraulic hoses are securely connected to both the pump unit and the tool. Make sure that there is no clearance between the male couplings and the female couplings. If the hydraulic hoses become loose, no hydraulic oil will flow through the hoses and the tool will not operate.
Installation Power supply (electric pump units) There are different types of electric pump units to operate the tool: 230V pump unit 400V pump unit Warning: • If you use an extension cable: • Do not use an extension cable longer than necessary. •...
Explosion protection (pneumatic pump units) HYTORC can make the system (pump, hose and tool) explosion proof. The tools will be equipped with anodized swivels. Metal springs will be fitted onto the couplings of the swivel, the twin hose and the pump unit. The rubber feet of the pump unit will be replaced by metal studs.
Reaction arms Reaction arms The reaction arms can be used together with hydraulic tools, pneumatic tools and electric tools. There are different types of reaction arms to operate the tool. Reaction pad Procedure Place the reaction arm as shown. Place the tool over the nut as far as possible.
Holding plate The holding plate allows to use double-drive. Multiple variants are available for use with the HYTORC Washer or HYTORC LoadDISC Procedure Place the HYTORC Washer HYTORC LoadDISC under the regular nut. Place the tool with the holding plate over the nut and reaction washer completely.
(5,800 psi) and 700 bar (10,000 psi) respectively. • all moving parts of the tool are clean and sufficiently lubricated with a high-quality NLGI #2 molybdenum disulfide grease. For subsea applications, HYTORC recommends Womi lube. • the square drive and the drive retainer are securely fitted.
Operation 6.2.2 Pneumatic pump unit Procedure Set the on/off switch (A) to the on position to switch on the pump unit. Press and hold the start button (B) to increase the pressure in the pump unit and operate the tool. Set the on/off switch (A) to the off position to switch off the pump unit.
Operation Torque 6.4.1 Pressure/torque chart The maximum operating pressure for all HYTORC pump units is 690 bar (10,000 psi). Warning: • Make sure that the maximum operating pressure of the pump unit is not higher than the maximum permitted pressure of 690 bar (10,000 psi).
Operation Press and hold the start button (C) on the remote control until the square drive no longer turns. The piston in the tool is in the fully extended position. Note: If the piston does not move, turn the pressure control valve (B) 360°...
Operation Determining the direction of rotation Procedure To tighten a bolted connection, place the tool onto the bolt as shown. Refer to the marking "TIGHTEN" on the tool. To loosen a bolted connection, place the tool onto the bolt as shown.
Always set the pressure as low as possible to loosen the nut or the bolt. • If you must constantly use a high pressure to loosen the nut or the bolt, use a heavier HYTORC tool. Contact your local HYTORC representative for more information. 37 - 001 -...
Operation Procedure Turn the pressure control valve (A) clockwise to set the maximum pressure (700 bar, 10,000 psi). If you use hex sockets, there are restrictions to make sure that the sockets do not break. Place the tool onto the nut or the bolt correctly.
• Clean dirty hose couplings. Replace defective hose couplings. • Replace the hydraulic oil when it has a white, milky look. Maintenance by HYTORC • Have the tool fully disassembled, cleaned, inspected and lubricated at least once a year. •...
