Reaction Arm
All HTL torque wrenches are equipped with a universal reaction arm. These reaction arms are
employed to absorb and counteract forces created as the unit operates. The reaction arm should
extend in the same direction of the Square Drive; however, slight adjustments may be made to suit your
particular application.
In operation, the reaction arm must be fully engaged and secured.
To engage the reaction arm, depress the spring loaded button located on the rear of the end cap, push
into position and relase to lock. Ensure the retainer is locked in place prior to using the wrench.
To remove the reaction arm, depress the spring loaded button located on the rear of the end cap and
pull to release.
