To remove the reaction arm, simply pull down on the release latch and pull the reaction arm away from the
tool body.
To replace the reaction arm, orient it to the desired position and push onto the reaction arm location plug
until it latches into place. A simple tug on the reaction arm will be enough to tell if it has attached correctly.
NOTE:
Under certain conditions, it is possible for the reaction arm location plug to be pushed slightly into
the body. This can happen as a result of the tool being dropped or hit against a solid object while
the arm is not fitted. Once this has occurred the reaction arm may not latch into place correctly.
The problem is very simply cured and in many cases will rectify itself before the operator is even
aware it has occurred. To return the plug to its correct position simply connect the tool to a pump
and cycle the mechanism backwards and forwards a couple of times. In a lot of cases just switching
the pump on will be enough. The reaction arm should then latch on correctly.

The extended reaction arm can only be positioned in one orientation i.e. the flat of the reaction surface at
90° to the side of the torque wrench body.
NOTE:
The extended reaction arm is purchased separately as an accessory. For further information please
