APPLYING TORQUE
1.Set desired torque
2.Attach socket to ratchet head. Set directional switch.
3.Apply the load at the center of the handle until you hear a
"CLICK", IMMEDIATELY RELEASE THE LOAD. The torque
wrench will reset itself for the next operation.
WARNING
1.DOnot set torque below lowest scale.
2.Do not apply more torque than max. scale.
3.Do not continue applying torque when preset torque has been
reached (audible "Click").
CAUTION
1.Threads on bolts, nuts and other mating components should be
clean and smooth. A lubricant applied to the threads and under
the head of bolts will produce more accurate and consistent
results.
2.Never torque a fastener that is already tightened. Loosen it first,
then re-torque to the desired value. The same applies to fasteners
that are overtorqued.
3.When tightening many fasteners holding one component (engine
head, pipe flanges, etc.) follow manufacturer's recommended
procedures. If such procedures are not available, torque in a
criss-cross manner first 60-70% of the desired torque, then the
final torque.
4.DO NOT apply more torque than the rated capacity of the torque
wrench. Do not use it as a nut-breaker!!
