of the mechanism.
ACTUATING THE SWi12/14TM
Follow the SWi Spreading Wedge Tool Operation
instructions, using the following instructions to actuate
the SWi12/14TM tool in particular:
Actuate the tool by manually applying force to the torque
wrench in the clockwise direction (see Torque Wrench
Usage). Gradually increase the torque setting of the
Torque Wrench over several steps, for example 30Nm (or
20ft.lb) each time. Do not exceed the maximum SWL
torque of 175N.m (130ft.lb).
When using multiple tools, ensure that the torque settings
of all wrenches correspond to keep the spreading force
balanced.
RETRACTING THE SWi12/14TM
Retract the tool by manually applying force to the torque
wrench in the anti-clockwise direction. When using
multiple tools, work around all wrenches to keep the
spreading force balanced as the gap is closed.
