8. USE OF SOCKET WRENCH
 Secure the socket with the locking pin to the torque tool.
 Place tool and socket on the nut and beware that the socket covers the nut as far as
possible. Even when the nut is painted or rusted!
 Never use a socket with extension piece!
 Never use a 12 points socket when not required!
 Never use any thin wall or turned off socket!
In above mentioned cases it is possible something brakes or causes injury!
8.1 Changing rotation direction
 Push the button of the drive retainer which fixes the square drive to the tool.
 Pull the square drive axle out of the tool and place it back on the other side of the tool.
 Place the fixation drive retainer.
 Some HYTORC types have the possibility to push the square drive through the tool to the
other side.

8.2 Reaction arm
All HYTORC torque tools have a universal changeable reaction arm. This reaction arm bears
the reaction forces that have been generated by the tool. The reaction arm needs to be
retracted in the same direction as the square drive and, if necessary, changed of placement
when the square drive is changed.
 Place the tool on the bolted connection and place the reaction arm to a reaction point by
hand. Check if hoses and tool are free of obstacles.
 Ensure if the steel endpoint of the reaction arm abuts solidly to the chosen reaction point.
 Stay clear of the tool and reaction point with your fingers or other body parts!
 Push the start button for one second to find out if everything is working properly.
ATTENTION!
The yellow reaction arm cover needs to support as low as possible against the reaction point
or on the same height as the grip of the socket on the nut. If the reaction arm leans higher
than this grip point, a bending force arises that causes a higher risqué of spoiling the thread.
Assure yourself that the reaction arm is pushed over the square
drive as far as possible and that the fixation clip is secured in the
groove of the tool.
Comment: if the reaction point cannot be reached due to a short
reaction arm, we can lengthen the arm with an accessory.
