Troubleshooting
Make sure that the plug is removed from the mains when carrying out
maintenance work on the motor.
The machines have been designed to operate over a long period of time with a minimum of
maintenance. Continuous satisfactory operation depends upon proper machine care and
regular cleaning.
Cleaning
Regularly clean the machine housing with a soft cloth, preferably after each use. Keep the
ventilation slots free from dust and dirt.
If the dirt does not come off use a soft cloth moistened with soapy water. Never use solvents
such as petrol, alcohol, ammonia water, etc. These solvents may damage the plastic parts.
Lubrication
The machine requires no additional lubrication.
Faults
Should a fault occur, e.g. after wear of a part, please contact the service address on the
warranty card. In the back of this manual you find an exploded view showing the parts that can
be ordered.
The machine does not work
(the electric motor will not start)
The machine works intermittently
The adapter clamp (red and/or black) is not
making a good contact with the battery
terminal/reconnect the clamp.
The fuse in the plug is burnt out/check the
wiring and replace the fuse (see section 3).
Thermal safety is working/leave the
machine to cool down for a few minutes.
The cord is broken/check the wiring and
contact the service centre.
Adapter clamp or plug is making poor
contact/reconnect.
Internal wiring damaged / contact the
service centre.

2. 12V battery
The adapter supplied (7) has two connecting clamps (red and black) and a connector for the
plug of the impact car wrench.
• Connect the plug on the impact car wrench to the adapter cable.
• First connect the black clamp to the negative (-) battery terminal.
• Then connect the red clamp to the positive (+) battery terminal.
Using
• Use the on/off switch (1) to switch the machine on or off.
• Set the direction of rotation of the output shaft with switch (2).
The electric motor turns a weight in the head of the machine. After a few seconds the output
shaft will be given a hefty impact from the weight because of the centrifugal force, which will
tighten or loosen the wheel nut step by step.
Loosening a wheel nut
• Turn the rotation direction switch (2) to position R (Release).
• Put the machine on the wheel nut using the right socket.
• Switch on the machine with the on/off switch and hold the machine tightly.
• You will hear the electric motor rotating and after a few seconds the machine will give the
nut a hefty anticlockwise impact. This will be repeated until the nut is loose.
• Release the on/off switch to switch off the machine.
Tightening a wheel nut
• Tighten the wheel nut as far as possible by hand. The machine works best when the nut
experiences sufficient resistance.
• Turn the rotation direction switch (2) to position F (Fasten).
• Switch on the machine with the on/off switch and hold the machine tightly.
• You will hear the electric motor rotating and after a few seconds the machine will give the
nut a hefty clockwise impact. This will be repeated until the nut is tight.
• Release the on/off switch to switch off the machine.
• N.B.: always check that wheel nuts are tight afterwards using a torque wrench.
LED lighting
When the on/off switch is operated the white LED lighting will also be switched on. This keeps
the wheel nut visible even when it is dark.
