Using a Torque Wrench Extension
Occasionally an extension, crowfoot, or other adapter is
necessary to use with a torque wrench to torque a bolt or
line fitting. Adding adapters or extensions will alter the
torque on the fastener from what the torque wrench
reads. Use the following formula to calculate the correct
torque wrench setting to achieve a specific torque value.
Figure 1-3: Torque Wrench and Extension
SPECIFICATION AND GENERAL INFORMATION

F - Force applied by technician
L - Total length through which force is applied to fastener
TW - Torque applied at end of torque wrench
TS = TE (LW / (LW + LE))
TS - Torque wrench setting
TE - Torque specified at fastener
LW - Length of torque wrench
LE - Length of extension
Example: A component requires a specified torque value
of 65 lb-ft and a 6 inch extension is required to reach it.
What should the torque wrench setting (TS) be to
compensate for the extension?
Torque specified at fastener (TE) = 65 lb-ft
Length of torque wrench (LW) = 12 in.
Length of extension (LE) = 6 in.
TS = TE (LW / (LW + LE))
TS = 65 lb-ft (12 in. / (12 in. + 6 in.)
TS = 65 lb-ft (12 in. / (18 in.)
TS = 65 lb-ft (0.666)
TS = 43.33 lb-ft

MAINTENANCE
Pump Priming and Operation
Priming Pump
NOTE
All pumps are primed in a similar fashion. PT4 is shown.
See Figure 2-2.
WARNING
When priming the pump, only use water.
Failure to comply may result in injury or death
to personnel.
WARNING
Do not prime pump for more than 5 minutes. If
pump priming is taking longer than 5 minutes,
turn off engine and allow pump to cool. Failure
to comply may result in injury or death to
personnel.
CAUTION
inspect hoses to ensure they are the correct
diameter and free of damage. If the hose
diameter is to small or the hose is damaged, it
will cause the pump to cavitate. Failure to
comply may result in damage to equipment.
NOTE
To avoid air leaks and slow priming, ensure the suction
hose is connected properly.
2
WARNING
High temperatures and/or pressures may be
caused during priming or operation. If high
temperatures and/or pressure conditions exist,
do not open any plugs or hoses. Failure to
comply may result in injury or death to
personnel.
WARNING
Ensure discharge hose is secure before
operating the pump. A loose discharge hose
may cause the hose to slip or become
detached. Failure to comply may result in injury
or death to personnel.
CAUTION
Inspect pump and associated accessories
before each use. Failure to comply may result
in damage to equipment.
