TROUBLESHOOTING

If symptoms of poor performance develop, the following chart can be used as a guide to correct the problem. When diagnosing faults in operation of the wrench, always check that the hydraulic power source is supplying the correct hydraulic flow and pressure to the tool as listed in the following table. Use a flow meter known to be accurate. Check the flow with the hydraulic fluid temperature at least 80 °F/27 °C.
