Electrical Pumps should never be used in any atmosphere which can be considered potentially volatile.
If there is any doubt, use an air pump. Note: metal to metal contact can cause sparks,
be taken.

The Pump Remote Control is for the TOOL OPERATOR only. Avoid separate pump and tool operator.

In most cases, the tool will allow “hands free” operation. If the tool must be held or steadied during
operation, use alternative means of securing the tool to the application.

Ensure the pump is properly grounded and the proper voltage is being used.

When not in use, tools and accessories should be properly stored to avoid deterioration.

Don’t force small tools or attachments to do the job of a larger tool. Don’t use a tool for purposes not
intended. TORC, LLC. can develop custom accessories for your job to ensure safe and simple operation.
Contact your local TORC, LLC. representative for more information on our custom engineering abilities.

When handling/operating hydraulic equipment, use work gloves, hard hats, safety shoes, hearing
protection, and other applicable clothing.

Do not use hydraulic hoses, uni-swivels, pump power or remote cords as means of moving the equipment.

MAINTAING TOOLS WITH CARE

For top performance, inspect tool powerpack, hoses, connectors, electric lines, and accessories for visual
damage frequently. Always follow instructions for proper tool and pump maintenance. Refer to the
Operations Maintenance Section for further clarification.

•

STAY ALERT

Watch what you are doing. Use common sense. Do not use power equipment under the influence of any
mood altering substances.

•

PRIOR TO OPERATION

Ensure that all hydraulic connections are securely connected. Verify that the hydraulic hoses are not
kinked. Ensure the square drive and its retainer are fully and securely engaged.

•

PRIOR TO USE

Cycle tool to ensure proper function. Locate a solid, secure reaction point. Be sure the reaction arm retain­ing clamp is fully engaged. Be sure the hydraulic hoses are free and clear of the reaction point. Pressurize
the system momentarily; if the tool tends to “ride up” or to “creep”, stop and re-adjust the reaction arm to a
more solid and secure position.

NOTE: For additional safety, a Reaction Washer can be used in place of the reaction arm; call your
TORC representative for more information.

•

ALWAYS USE QUALITY ACCESSORIES

Always use top quality impact sockets in good condition which are the correct size and fully engage the
nut. Hidden flaws, however, remain a possibility which could cause breakage, so stay clear of sockets

during operation.

•

DO NOT USE FORCE

Do not hammer on the socket or the tool to enhance performance. If the nut will not turn with the wrench
you are using, use a larger size TORC, LLC. tool.

•

REACTION

Proper reaction is required. Adjust reaction arm or plate accordingly. Avoid excessive play. In case of
questions, consult with your local TORC, LLC. office.

2-1
Working Pressure

The tool’s maximum working pressure is 10,000 PSI (700kg/cm2).

Make sure that all hydraulic equipment used with this tool is rated for 10,000 PSI Operating Pressure.

2-2
Hydraulic Connections

With older style pumps, the retract side of the system may remain pressurized after the pump has been switched
“off’. This trapped pressure makes it impossible to loosen the retract-side fittings by hand.

To release the pressure, find the 5/16” manual override holes in the end of the black solenoids on the pump. With a
welding rod, Allen key or similar device, push in on the ends of both solenoids, each in turn, and the residual
pressure will be released. All fittings will then be hand tight again.

Newer style pumps (HIGHFLOW, HIGHFLOW AIR or DYNAMIC) are equipped with an auto-pressure
relief.

Never disconnect or connect any hydraulic hoses or fittings without first unloading the wrench and the pump. If the
system includes a gauge, double check the gauge to ensure pressure has been released.

When making connections with quick disconnect couplings, make sure the couplings are fully engaged. Threaded
connections such as fittings, gauges, etc., must be clean, securely tightened, and leak free.

CAUTION: Loose or improper threaded fittings can be potentially dangerous if pressurized, yet, severe over
tightening can cause premature thread failure. Fittings need only to be securely tightened & leak free. Never
grab, touch or in any way come in contact with a hydraulic pressure leak. Escaping oil could penetrate the
skin and cause injury.

Electrical Connections

Ensure proper power availability to prevent motor failure or dangerous electrical overloading. Compare the
motor nameplate for required amperage.

Do not use electric pump if the 3-prong electrical plug is not whole.

Minimize the length of extension cords and be sure they are of adequate wire size, with ground connections.
Extension cord should be #10 AWG gauge.

WARNING: Electric motors may spark. Do not operate in an explosive atmosphere or in the
presence of conductive liquids. Use an air motor pump Instead.

2-4
Air

Connections

Ensure that you have sufficient air flow (in cfm) to operate your pneumatic pump. If in doubt, compare the pump
manufacturer’s recommended air flow rating prior to pressurizing pump. Improper air flow may damage the pump
motor. For best results use air hoses larger than 3/4” I.D. diameter.

Use of a filter regulator lubricator (FRL) is highly recommended. (Pictured below.)

1. Adjust flow to one drop per 60 - 90 seconds

2. Fill half way with grade 46 hydraulic oil supplied
