HOW TO USE THE TORQUE WRENCH
Balance the wrench in your left hand and unlock the knurled handle by
turning the locking knob anti-clockwise. Set the torque amount by
turning the knurled handle - see example 40-46 N/m
1)
Turn the handle till 0 on fine scale reach 40 N/m on base scale
2)
To set 46 turn handle till fine scale reach 6
3)
Lock handle by turning the locking knob clockwise
Install the proper socket and attach to the tool. Pull handle till you feel
and/or hear the wrench click. Setting of ft/lb scale is done in the same
way as above.
Do not pull after the wrench clicks. Use special care at low torque settings. If the wrench has not
been used for some time: operate it several times at low torque to allow internal lubricant to
recoat. When not in use set to lowest torque setting. Don’t turn handle below lowest torque
setting. Your torque wrench is a precision measuring instrument and should be treated as such.
Clean only by wiping, do not use any type of cleaner which may affect the special internal
lubricant with which this wrench is packed at the factory.
1. Do not attempt to turn the grip while it is locked.
2. Do not turn the grip more than one turn below the lowest scale reading or above the highest
scale reading.
INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
1)
Carry out the Flange Misalignment Determination Procedure
(see section 4) to determine the points of maximum
misalignment.
In this example the points of maximum misalignment are at
the top and bottom of the joint.
2)
Guide the lift hook into the bolt-hole at the maximum point
of misalignment.
Adjust the drop leg down onto the pipe by turning the
adjusting knob in a clockwise direction. The tool should be
held up level within the bolt-hole during adjustment.
N.B. The tool must be parallel to the pipe at all times
