Operating Instructions
Description
ATD’s split beam click torque wrench is a precision instrument designed to
accurately measure torque. Other uses should be avoided. It should NEVER be
used to break loose stubborn fasteners. The self-contained torque limiting
mechanism employs an exclusive, patented design that minimizes friction, and
is rugged and dependable. The precision made part is sealed so dirt or liquids
cannot easily affect the built-in accuracy of the mechanism. The wrench is not
affected by extreme changes of temperature.
Unpacking
After unpacking unit. make sure ail parts are present. If any part is
missing or damaged. do not attempt to use the product. Contact customer
service. Shipping damage claim must be filed with carrier.

reached.
Pressure must be taken off the handle and the wrench must be allowed to
automatically reset itself.
CAUTION

used. Ratchets that slip or break can cause injury.
Operation
- Pull the lock lever back to the position.
- Adjust the set knob to desired scale.
- Push the lock lever forward to the position.
- Install the proper socket or attachment to the square drive and apply to the object being torqued. Applying a steady pull to the center of handle, and stop pulling until you hear a “click” sound.

RELEASE FORCE TO RESET
Use of extensions and adapters
When using an extension or adapter (increasing the effective length of the
torque wrench) the output torque value will change. To calculate the new
torque output of the torque wrench, use the following formula:
TW = Torque wrench scale reading
TA = Torque exerted at end of adapter
L = Distance between square drive and hand position
A= Length of adapter or extension
NOTE: A number of variables including the length of the adapter or extension, length of the torque wrench and variations in hand positions on the torque wrench will affect the accuracy of the above calculation.\
