Read operation manual completely before using torque instrument and store for future reference.

Wear safety goggles-both user and bystanders

• An out of calibration torque wrench can cause part or tool breakage

• Periodic re-calibration is necessary to

maintain accuracy

• Do not exceed rated torque as

overtorquing can cause wrench or part failure

• Do not use torque instrument to break

fasteners loose

• Do not use cheater extension on the

handle to apply torque

• Broken or slipping tools can cause

injury.

CAUTION - RATCHET HEAD

Ratchet mechanism may slip or break if dirty, mismatched or worn parts are used, or direction lever is not fully engaged. Ratchets that slip or break can cause injury.

MAINTENANCE / sERvICE

1. The torque wrench’s internal mechanism is

permanently lubricated during assembly. Do not

sETTING TORQUE

1. To set the torque values, loosen locking set screw (A) with a 3/32” hex wrench.

2. Insert interchangeable plain drive head (D) (consult factory for model number) into receptacle (F) until the locking pin (E) is fully engaged with the corresponding receptacle hole. (See Figure I)

3. Place a T- handle hex wrench through adjusting hex opening (C) at rear of handle grip until engaging the adjusting screw (B).

4. Place the wrench on a torque tester. Turn adjusting screw (B) with the T- handle hex wrench clockwise to increase torque and counter-clockwise to decrease torque.

5. To set torque, apply a slow steady force on the pre-set wrench. Turn adjusting screw (B) until the desired torque setting is displayed on the torque tester.

NOTE:

• Some interchangeable heads used in pre-set torque

wrenches have lengths that vary.

• It is recommended that the pre-set torque wrenches

are to be calibrated with the interchangeable head that is to be used to assure the greatest accuracy in calibration.

• Hex wrenches used to adjust torque settings will

vary in length.

To verify calibration or to torque a fastener, keep hand centered on the handle grip. Apply a slow force until a click/impulse is heard or felt. Stop and allow the wrench to reset.

2. Clean torque wrench by wiping. Do not immerse.

3. Store torque wrench in protective tube at its lowest

torque setting. Do not force handle below lowest

setting.

6. Tighten the locking set screw to 10 in, lbs. (A). To ensure that wrench setting is repeatable, cycle three more times. If the readings are not as desired, repeat steps 1-5.
