Always operate, inspect, and maintain this tool in accordance with American National Standards Institute Safety Code for Por table Air Tools 
(ANSI   B186.1) and any other applicable safety codes and regulations.  
Always turn off and disconnect the air supply before installing, removing, or adjusting any accessory on this tool or before  performing any 
maintenance on this tool. Failu re to do so could result in injury.  
IMPORTANT  
Make sure that these instructions are fully understood before operating this tool. The tool, its attachments and accessories  must only be used for their 
designed purpose. For product liability and safety reason s, any modifications of the tool and its accessories must be agreed upon by the technical 
authority of the manufacturer. All locally legislated safety rules with regard to installation, operation, and maintenance sh all be respected at all times. 
The use of   sloppy or worn sockets and extensions can cause excessive damage to the pulse unit.  
USE ONLY POWER DRIVE SOCKETS PER ANSI B107.2  
SAFETY FEATURES  
 Torque reaction is virtually eliminated to reduce wrist injury to operator and create ergonomic working env ironment.
 Optimum torque accuracy and repeatability.
 Uniform fastening torque with narrow mean - shift torque for hard and soft joints.
 Uryu quality and design.
TORQUE ADJUSTMENT  
1. For all angle (C type) tools, except ALPHA - C*, the angle casing assemb ly must be removed for internal adjustment. To do so, remove the three
front bolts on the angle head casing.
2. Remove 4mm or 5mm Allen plug in front casing.
3. Rotate anvil manually until torque adjuster (1.5mm to 3mm Allen screw) is exposed directly in line wi th opening in front casing.  Caution :   Do
not remove round head oil filler plug.)
4. Turn torque adjuster (1.5mm to 3mm Allen screw) clockwise to increase torque and counter - clockwise to decrease torque output. Use
AIM/Uryu authorized test equipment for best re sults.
5. Maximum torque  -   turn torque adjuster (1.5mm to 3mm Allen screw) clockwise until it bottoms out and back off approximately one and a half
turns to set an effective maximum torque for the ALPHA & UX series and one half of a turn to set effective maxi mum torque for the U series.
*   The ALPHA - C has a knurled band under the angle head that can be pushed up to expose an opening in the angle casing where the torque adj uster
can be adjusted through.
AIR SUPPLY  
LINE SIZE :  3/8” to 1/2” drive should use 3/8” ID   line and 3/4” to 1” drive should use 1/2” ID line.  
AIR PRESSURE :  Use air pressure 5.0  -   6.0 Kgf/cm 2
  (70 - 85 PSI) for optimum performance.  Caution :   Never use higher air pressure to increase the 
output of the tool. Overloading will drastically shorten the li fe of all internal parts.  
DRY AND CLEAN AIR :  Drain daily, and install filter at or near the take - off point to prevent trouble from foreign matter.  
AIR HOSE AND JOINTS :   Use air hose (the shorter, the better), joints, and other fittings of good condition and   of proper size to avoid pressure drop.  
LUBRICATION  
FOR AIR MOTOR :  Supply light Turbine Oil properly through Air Inlet or line lubricator before and after every operations. For example, Mobil 
Turbine Oil #32, Shell Turbine Oil #32 and/or equivalent.   
FOR B EARINGS :  Supply recommended high - quality grease (e.g., Shell Alvania No. 2, Mobilplex 2 and/or equivalent) properly once every three 
months and when the tool is overhauled.  
MAINTENANCE  
REGULAR OVERHAUL :  It is recommended that after every 150,000 pulsing se conds or 180 days the fluid in the tool’s pulse unit be changed.  It 
is also recommended at such time to grease the bearings in the air motor. If the presence of water is noted, it is recommende d that a small amount of 
oil be run through the air motor to w ash out any rust residue in the air motor. It is recommended that after every 300,000 pulsing seconds or 365 days 
that a pulse unit repair kit be installed in the pulse unit. This also allows the inspection of hard parts in the pulse unit.  
GENUINE PARTS :  T he use of other than genuine AIMCO replacement parts may result in safety hazards, decreased tool performance, and 
increased maintenance and may invalidate all warranties.  
AIMCO is not responsible for customer modification of tools for applications on whic h AIMCO was not consulted. Repairs should be made only by 
an authorized AIMCO Service Center. Contact AIMCO at 1 - 800 - 852 - 1368 for the authorized Service Center in your area.
