• Be sure the operator has completed
safety induction training, specific to the
work surroundings. The operator should
be thoroughly familiar with the controls
and the proper use of the tool.
• Wear personal protective gear when
operating hydraulic equipment. Always
wear eye protection. Safety equipment
such as dust mask, non-skid safety
shoes, hard hats, gloves, or hearing
protection (used as appropriate) will
reduce personal injuries. The protective
clothing must not interfere with safe
operation of the tool or restrict the ability
to communicate with co-workers.
• Operatingprocedureswillvary,depending
on the system arrangement. Always
read, follow, and completely understand
all manufacturers’ instructions when
operating pumps, valves and all other
devices used with the SGM tools. Follow
all safety precautions contained in the
manufacturer’s manuals. Use only for
intended purpose.
• To minimize risk of personal injury, keep
hands and feet away from the tool and
workpiece during operation.
• Do not overload equipment.
• Immediately replace worn or damaged
parts. Use only genuine Equalizer parts
from approved distributors or service
centers. Equalizer parts have been
engineered and manufactured to be fit-
for-purpose.
• Use only a high-quality non-flammable
solvent for cleaning and degreasing
parts during wrench repair procedures.
To reduce the risk of fire or explosion, do
not use flammable solvents.
• Care should be taken when using the
lanyard to avoid entanglement with body
parts.
Failure to observe and comply with
the following precautions could result
in minor or moderate personal injury.
Property damage could also occur.
• Ensure components are protected from
external sources of damage, such as
excessive heat, flame, moving machine
parts, sharp edges, and corrosive
chemicals.
• Lubricate tools as directed in this manual
prior to operation. Use only approved
lubricants of high quality, following the
lubricant manufacturer’s instructions.

Capabilities and Kit Contents
3.2.1 SG4TM Tool Capabilities and
Kit Contents
Spreading Force:
With the maximum torque of 47 N·m
[35 ft·lb] applied, each SG4TM can apply
3.7T [37kN] spreading force.
It is recommended that tools are used in
pairs positioned 180° apart, giving 2 x 3.7T
= 7.4T [74kN].
The spreading force can be determined by
pre-setting the torque wrench. The torque
wrench settings will produce a spreading
force as set out below.
