TORQUE REACTION ___________________________________________________________
When the Pneutorque® is in operation the reaction arm rotates in the opposite direction to the output drive
square and must be allowed to rest squarely against a solid object or surface adjacent to the bolt to be
tightened. (See figure 2).
WARNING:
ALWAYS KEEP HANDS CLEAR OF THE REACTION ARM WHEN THE TOOL IS IN USE
OR SERIOUS INJURY MAY RESULT.
Figure 2a (Clockwise)
Figure 2b (Counter-clockwise)
WARNING:
CARE MUST BE TAKEN TO ENSURE THAT THE REACTION ARM IS
ONLY USED WITHIN THE LIMITATIONS SHOWN IN FIGURE 3.
For special applications or where extra deep sockets must be used the standard arm may be extended but
only within the limitations shown on Figure 3.
Alternative reaction devices are available.
WARNING:
FAILURE TO OBSERVE THE LIMITATIONS SHOWN IN FIGURE 3 WHEN
MODIFYING STANDARD REACTION ARMS MAY RESULT IN
PREMATURE WEAR OR DAMAGE TO THE TOOL.
Standard drive square extensions MUST NOT be used as these will cause serious damage to the tool output
drive. A range of nose extensions is available for applications where access is restricted. These are
designed to support the final drive correctly.
