CAUTION !
Due to the high torque capabilities of the torque tester, repeated cycling of the rundown
joint can cause significant heat build-up in the joint. If the joint becomes hot to the touch,
allow time for the rundown joint to cool before continuing with testing.
Mounting
The KTM-1000 Torque Tester is capable of measuring high torque values. The tester must be mounted
firmly to a solid surface so that its base can react the torque that is applied to the input shaft of the
tester without movement. Any movement of the tester while taking readings will affect the displayed
torque value.
CAUTION !
Failure to properly secure the tester could result in damage and/or personal injury.
There are (4) M10 x 1.25 holes provided in the underside of the tester for mounting directly to a bench
using appropriate fasteners (not included). An optional bench mount bracket can be purchased as an
alternative solution for securing the tester in position.
