WARNING  
 Always operate, inspect, and maintain this tool with the American National Standards Institute Safety Code for Portable Air  Tools (ANSI B186.0)
and any other applicable safety codes and regulations.
 Always turn off and disconnect the air supply hose before installing, removing, or adjusting any accessories on this tool or  before performing any
maintenance on this tool. Failure  to do so could result in injury.
 Never use higher air pressure to increase the output of the Acra - Pulse wrench. Overloading will drastically shorten the life of all internal parts.
IMPORTANT  
Make sure that these instructions are fully understood before ope rating 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 man ufacturer. All locally legislated safety rules with regard to installation, operation, and maintenance shall be respected at  all times.  
SETTING OF TIGHTENING TORQUE  
Adjusting of the torque should only be done if the X - Bar cannot be achieved through adjusti ng the air pressure or target torque. For further 
instructions on this, please refer to the UEC - 4500   or  4800   Operations Manual.  
U - EC & UX - EC :
1. Remove the four Allen head bolts that hold the front casing in place. While the front casing is off the tool, do n ot touch the white part of the
internal gear.
2. Remove the front casing and socket spindle with the planet gears. If the anvil gear stays on the pulse unit, then keep track  of the ball.
3. With a 2mm Allen wrench, turn the torque adjuster counter - clockwise to d ecrease the torque output and clockwise to increase the torque output.
4. Reverse steps 1 and 2.
ALPHA - MC   / UL - MC :  
1. Remove the four Allen head bolts that hold the front casing in place; on the Alpha - 130MC and the UXR - 1820MC, remove the access plate under
the t hrottle trigger and disconnect the connector plug to the transducer.
2. Remove the sensor casing assembly from the tool.
3. Turn the torque adjuster (1.5mm or 2mm Allen screw) counter - clockwise to decrease the torque output and clockwise to increase the torque
o utput.
4. Reverse steps one and two.
AIR SUPPLY  
AIR HOSE SIZE :   1/4” NPT air inlet use a 3/8” ID hose; 3/8” NPT air inlet use a 1/2” ID hose; 1/2” NPT air inlet use a 3/4” ID hose; and 3/4”   air 
inlet use a 1” ID hose.  
AIR PRESSURE :   Air pressure at 85 PSI (6 kg /cm 2
) is recommended for the most efficient performance. Some models are recommended to be run 
at 57 PSI (4 kg/cm 2
).  Caution :   Using too high of air pressure will shorten the life of the tool. Consult the catalog for more information.  
LUBRICATION  
FOR AIR MO TOR :  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 a high - quality grease (e.g., Shell Alvania #2,   Mobilplex #2 and/or equivalent) properly once every three months or when 
the tool is overhauled.  
MAINTENANCE  
REGULAR OVERHAUL :   It is recommended that after every 200,000 pulsing seconds or 180 days, the fluid in the tool’s pulse unit be changed. At 
such t ime, it is also recommended to grease the bearings in the air motor. If the presence of water is noted, it is recommended tha t a small amount of 
oil be run through the air motor to wash out any rust residue in the air motor. It is recommended that after ev ery 400,000 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 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 in 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.
