DataT rq
ANOTHER INDUSTRY FIRST!
Precision controlled torque in an easy to
use, free standing unit. The power of an
impact tool optimized for productivity
and control. DataTorq delivers accurate and
reactionless high-speed performance across
a range of wheel types and specifications.
PRODUCTIVITY

– No hand torqueing
– Eliminates torque sticks
– Eliminating the need for click wrenches
– All tightening, snug & final torque, can be performed
while vehicle is still in the air
• Saves 4-6 minutes per vehicle
PROOF OF WORK
• Automatically Documents Process
• Full documentation – Data on labels includes:
– Time & Date stamped
– Target torque for wheel
– Torque results from each lug
– Calibration Due Date

Controlling lug nut torque
Counting lugs – ensures job completion
Evenly tightens wheel – prevents loosening
No rotor warping damage – due to over tightening
Eliminate overstretched studs – due to over tightening
No more custom wheel damage due to over tightening
FOR INCREASED SAFETY AND PRODUCTIVITY, THE
MODERN TIRE SHOP OR VEHICLE REPAIR SHOP NEEDS
TO ENSURE THAT WHEEL LUGS ARE TIGHTENED BOTH
EVENLY AND TO THE CORRECT TORQUE LEVEL.
Even the best current procedure requires two steps:
1.Snug the lugs with an impact gun using a torque
limiting stick
2.Lower the car to the ground, and then use a torque
wrench on each lug.
This is a time consuming, labor intensive process
that leaves the Owner, Manager and Customer still not
knowing if the job has been done right or done at all....
and 1000 ft/lbs of “nut busting torque” is not
the answer.
Most lugs get over-tightened by the impact tool before
a torque wrench ever touches them. With Clicker type
torque wrenches, techs can seriously over-tighten lugs
because they don’t stop pulling when the wrench clicks.
Add distractions, tech turn-over, limited training
resources and the critical job of tightening lug nuts
properly often gets overlooked. This can spell disaster in
terms of safety and high rework costs.
The time has come to address this problem; DataTorq
is the answer. A breakthrough safety idea in wheel
fastening technology.
DataTorq is easy to program and easy to operate, step by
step instructions walk you through the set-up to prevent
mistakes. No complex computer program or networking
is required. The tire tech selects the torque, number of
wheels and lugs and runs the job.
PROCESS CONTROL
• Torque control - no missed lugs
• Two-stage torque process ensures even tightening
CUSTOMER SAFETY
• Wheels stay on the vehicle
• Better braking - flat brake rotors

Tighten Lug Nuts in a Star Pattern for Best Equal Torque Distribution.
CAUTION: Improper torque can cause distortion, stress cracking or wheel/hub misalignment. Torque applied may drop due to natural
seating or relaxation of parts. Re-check lug nut torque on after 50-100 miles. Re-tighten all lugs to specified torque as necessary.
Note: Always refer to Owner’s Manual for proper factory specifications that take precedence over the listed recommendations. When
using aftermarket wheels, follow torque specified by the wheel manufacturer. Torque specifications listed within are from sources
considered reliable, however since the information from the manufacturer is subject to change without notice, it cannot be guaranteed.

TROUBLESHOOTING AND ADJUSTMENTS
NOTE: Any added square drive extension causes efficiency loss and thus torque loss at the fastener. Frequently inspect socket to assure
that it fits snugly to square drive, has no cracks, and the drive surfaces are not worn/rounded.
SET-UP PROBLEMS
If you may experience the inability for the controller or tool to set up correctly this may be due to a bad cable connection or wiring within
the tool to the connector. This may be indicated by the controller screen reading XDUCER FAIL or CALIBRATION FAILED. Check cable
connections at the controller and at the tool. Change the cable if this does not correct the fault.
OTHER CONCERNS
The controller is designed to operate a tool with a 16’ long, 3/8” (AUTO) or 1/2” (TRUCK) inside diameter air hose. The wall-mount/pedestal
version has a 35’ long air hose. If the tool needs to be changed, make sure that the matching DTU memory chip is installed into the
controller at the same time to ensure proper function and calibration.
PSI and SCFM: 90-120 PSI and sufficient SCFM is required for proper operation. The PSI that the controller and tool require must be
maintained throughout the rundown of each fastener. The PSI must never fall below 80 PSI during impacting (or when coming to torque).
The supplied PSI is critical in order to achieve torque. If the supplied PSI falls below 80 PSI, then the tool may not be able to achieve final
torque. If the facilities air pressure falls more than 10 PSI from static reading when a tool is free-running, then the plant air flow may not
be sufficient for proper operation and your facility may require an air reservoir tank to maintain sufficient SCFM.
If the controller losses power unexpectedly, the tool may or may not run. Until power returns, the electronics will NOT be controlling the tool
or recording the results. When power returns, loosen all fasteners on the incomplete job and begin again.
If torque scatter is excessive, or the cycle time is too long, suspect the socket and/or extension. Worn or broken sockets can cause erratic
torque, long cycle times and excessive pulsing. Extensions will decrease the torque from a tool and stop it from reaching the fastener.
For any problem other than a bad socket/extension, send the problematic part in for repair. Contact your local distributor for assistance.
SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
The DataTorq Tool requires an annual calibration. Ensure that the air supply is clean and filtered. The lubricator is installed after the box
or, if installed before the controller, adjust it to the minimum setting. Any moisture present in the input air can foul the main valve and
render the controller inoperable.
Should service be required, contact your local distributor.
