Operation
Ergonomic guidelines
Consider your workstation as you read through this list of general ergonomic guidelines and see if you can identify areas for improvement in posture, component placement, or work environment.
Take frequent breaks and change work positions frequently.
Adapt the workstation area to your needs and the work task.
Adjust for convenient reach range by determining where parts or tools should be located to avoid static load.
Use workstation equipment such as tables and chairs appropriate for the work task.
Avoid work positions above shoulder level or with static holding during assembly operations.
When working above shoulder level, reduce the load on the static muscles by reducing the weight of the tool, using for example torque arms, hose reels or weight balancers. You can also reduce the load on the static muscles by holding the tool close to the body.
Make sure to take frequent breaks.
Avoid extreme arm or wrist postures, particularly for operations requiring a degree of force.
Adjust for convenient field of vision by minimizing movement of the eyes and head during the work task.
Use the appropriate lighting for the work task.
Select the appropriate tool for the work task.
Use ear protection equipment in noisy environments.
Use high-quality inserted tools or consumables to minimize exposure to excessive levels of vibration.
Minimize exposure to reaction forces.
Operating Instructions
Preparation
Check that the bolt threads are not damaged.
Pre-tighten the nut to set the stud down.
The pre-tightening is very important as it will stop the bolt moving.
Wind the nut down to stop the stud rotation.
Measure the bolt protrusion before mounting the tensioner. Minimum bolt protrusion must be equal to the 1 x D of the bolt. If bolt protrusion is below the minimum, the tensioner can cause serious personal injury.
Mounting the Tensioner
Connect the balancer to the lifting eye bolt, see the picture.
Point and click on image to see more information:1
Lifting eye bolt
Do not lift the tensioner from any other point.
Move the tensioner above and in line with the bolt, close to the top mounting position.
Run down the tensioner on the top of the bolt keeping clear from the adjacent bolt/washer till it touches the flange face.
Hold or secure the tensioner with a lifting device.
Engage the manual click wrench to the 3/8” square drive on the top of the manifold.
The click wrench should not be set to more than 75 Nm as it can damage the IRTT inside the tensioner.
Turn the click wrench clockwise to engage the socket inside the tensioner.
Connecting the Tensioner
Connect the system cable to the tensioner and the pump. Any port on the pump can be used to connect the system cable, see the picture.
Any port on the tensioner can be used to connect with the pump, see the picture below.
Point and click on image to see more information:1
Status indicator with LEDs
Connect the hydraulic hose to the pump and the tensioner.
Connect the pump to the main power supply.
Keep the power button of the pump in the OFF position.
Connect the hand controller to the pump.
It is possible to connect the hand controller to the second port on the tensioner if needed.
Status Indicator - LED Lights
LED on the top left appears in different colors to show the status while the tool is connecting:
Lighter green light appears when the tool is trying to connect.
Blue light appears when the connection process is in progress.
Darker green light appears when the connection process is completed.
LEDs for pressure, torque and angle can appear in sequences shifting from left to right, or from right to left:
When LED lights illuminate in sequence from left to right, start increasing the pressure, torque, or angle, depending on which row is illuminated.
When LED lights illuminate in sequence from right to left, start decreasing the pressure, torque, or angle, depending on which row is illuminated.
When the pressure reaches the target pressure, all 3 LEDs in the first row (pressure) will turn green which means that the pressure is OK. The same is valid for torque and angle.
Generally, LEDs indicate the following:
Red light means error.
White light - check the instruction on the hand controller.
Green light means OK.
The max stroke indicator on the puller bar should not be visible while pressuring the tensioner. If visible, stop and adjust the position of the puller bar on bolt so that the max position is not reached until the required pressure is achieved. Otherwise, if done repeatedly, it can physically damage the internal components of the tensioner.
Service
Preventing ESD Problems
The components inside the product and controller are sensitive to electrostatic discharge. To avoid future malfunction, make sure that service and maintenance is carried out in an ESD approved work environment. The figure below shows an example of an appropriate service work station.
Maintenance Instructions
Service Recommendations
Preventive maintenance is recommended at regular intervals. See the detailed information on preventive maintenance. If the product is not working properly, take it out of service and inspect it.
If no detailed information about preventive maintenance is included, follow these general guidelines:
Clean appropriate parts accurately

Overhaul
It is important to plan the maintenance of the tool on time, because the tool will stop working after 5000 cycles. The hand controller prevents the tool exceeding 5000 cycles.
The warning will be displayed several times:
When 250 cycles are left.
When100 cycles are left.
When 50 cycles are left.
The last 10 times the warning will be displayed each time. After that, the system will stop the tensioning work.
General Service and Maintenance Safety
Always wear impact-resistant eye and face protection when involved with or near the operation, repair or maintenance of the tool or changing accessories on the tool.
Disconnect the power supply and depressurize the hydraulic system before disconnecting or connecting hoses, fittings, or accessories or adjusting or dismantling the tool.
All investigation, maintenance or repair work should only be carried out when the tensioner is at zero pressure.
Always examine the condition of the elements that assemble the hydraulic circuit. If there are any faulty elements, contact the customer center to replace it with another element with the same characteristics in proper condition. Only qualified and trained personnel can do maintenance and improvement services on this device.
