Troubleshooting Guide
Problem | Reason | Action |
---|---|---|
Tool does not shut off or tightening time is too long. | Target torque close to maximum torque of the tool. | Chose a bigger tool with more power. |
Worn extension or socket/bits. | Check the extension and socket/bits. | |
Incorrect oil level in the Pulse unit. | Adjust the oil level or refill the oil. | |
The joint is too soft for the tool. | Choose a bigger tool with more power or increase pulse energy. | |
Worn parts in the Pulse unit. | Inspect and replace any worn parts. | |
The yield point of the joint is reached. | Check the joint specification. | |
Inconsistent shut off or insufficient accuracy. | The target torque is not within the tool specification. | Change to a different tool size. |
Extension is too long. | Change to shorter extension. | |
Worn extension or socket/bits. | Replace the extension and socket/bits. | |
Incorrect oil level in the Pulse unit. | Adjust the oil level or refill the oil. | |
The joint is too stiff. | Choose a smaller tool or decrease pulse energy. | |
If the tool becomes very hot. | Very high prevailing torque. | Change to a different tool size. |
Very soft joints. | Change to a different tool size. | |
High cycle rate. | Change to a different tool size. |
