maintenance on this tool.  Failure 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  reasons, 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  environment.  
 Optimum torque accuracy and repeatability.  
 Uniform fastening torque with narrow mean - shift torque for hard and soft joints thanks to a unique torque control shut - off device (no timer).  
 External one - touch adjustment for automatic shut - off.  
 Uryu   quality and design.  
SETTING OF TIGHTENING TORQUE  
1. Remove 4mm or 5mm Allen plug in front casing. On the ALPHA - T42, T47, T52, and T62, rotate the plastic sleeve on the front casing around
until the hole in the sleeve lines up with the hole in the casing.  On the ALPHA  - T70C and T70CH, push the knurled sleeve up towards the angle
head to gain access to the pulse unit.
2. Rotate anvil manually until torque adjuster (1.5mm to 3mm Allen screw) is exposed directly in line with opening in front casi ng.  Caution :   D o
not remove round head oil filler plug.
3. 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 results.
4. Maximum torque  -   Turn torq ue adjuster (1.5mm to 3mm Allen screw) clockwise until it bottoms out and back off approximately one - half turn to
set an effective maximum torque.
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 life 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 dro p.  
LUBRICATIO N  
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 BEARINGS :  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 seconds or 180 days the fluid in the tool’s pulse un it 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 wash out any rust residue in the air motor. It is re commended 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 :  The use of other than genuine AIMCO replacement part s 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 which 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.
