Inconnedspacestheintegratednutcan
be used with a 22mm ratchet spanner for
betteraccessinconnedspacesandfor
easier operation (g 5).
Remove the handles by unscrewing from
the base using the 10mm wrench (g 6).
Ensure when re-attaching handles that
they are tight on and secure.
TESTING PROCEDURE
6. Set the red pointer on the gauge to zero
- hold the tester by the grip handle and
proceed to load the fastener by turning
the operating handle clockwise (g 4).
7.Increasetheloaduntiltherequired
test load is attained. Hold this load and
observe any falling back of the readings
which would indicate movement and
possible failure of the fastener. Record
the satisfactory result.
8. Release the load on the fastener
by turning the operating handle
anti-clockwise and allowing the test
jaw to return to the original position.
9. Remove the tester and bolt tester
adaptor.

CAUTION!
Hold the fastener securely by the grip
handle as long as the fastener is under
load. When the load increases, note
the reading on the displacement scale
onthetester.Indicationoffailureofthe
fastener may be obtained by comparing
the current reading with the original
reading.
