5. Re-bar operating instructions
1. The Model 2008 Portable Heavy Duty
Tester will accept Rebar adaptors 6mm,
8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 14mm, 16mm,
18mm, 20mm & 22mm re-bar directly
through the cylinder.
2. Place the tester and triangular load
spreading bridge directly over the re-bar
by passing through the cylinder hole.
3. Place the tapered barrel over the re-bar
with the smaller diameter to the bottom
until it rests on top of the cylinder. Insert
the collet (3pcs) into the barrel and this
will sit flush or just inside
(fig 11)
.
5. Adjust the fine thread at the base of
each foot and on the triangular load
spreading bridge legs by turning each
foot clockwise until all the slack is taken
up and the collet has gripped onto the
re-bar. Failure to do this procedure may
result in the tester running out of stroke.

6. Ensure the tester is level by observing
the spirit level on top of the tester case
(fig 13)
.
4. Eyebolt testing
1. Screw the M20 connecting rod into
the heavy duty clevis and ensure the
thread engages fully so is flush with the
block.
2. Adjust the 3 telescopic legs on the
bridge so that the pin lines up with the
eye under test. Place the pin through
the eye and secure the clevis and pin.
3. Take up any further slack by either
adjusting the thread on the feet and/or
tightening the M20 adjustable nut.
4. Apply the load by operating the ratchet
spanner clockwise observing the
reading on the gauge.
5. After the test release the load by
operating the ratchet spanner anti-
clockwise and remove the clevis
and pin.
