WARNING
• Failure to use this load binder properly may
result in serious injury or even death to you or
others.
• Do not operate load binder while standing on
the load.
• You must be familiar with state and federal
regulations regarding size and number of chain
systems required for securing loads on trucks.
• Always consider the safety of nearby workers
as well as yourself when using load binder.
• While under tension, the load binder must not
be side loaded.
• Chain tension may decrease due to load
shifting during transport.
• Do not throw these instructions away. Keep
them close at hand and share them with any
others who use this load binder.
• Care should be taken to reduce the speed of
the drill as the chain becomes taut, to minimize
the twist of the drill. It may be necessary to use
both hands to secure the drill at high torque-
even at slow speeds.
• Use only genuine Speedbinders parts as
replacement.

Important Safety Information -
Read & Follow
For maximum safety and efficiency, load securement
systems must be properly designed, used and
maintained. You must understand the use of load binders
in a load securement system. These instructions provide
this knowledge. Read them carefully and completely.
Instructions- Torque Drive Load Binder
• Position the Torque Drive load binder so it can be
operated from the ground or a stable location. Be aware
of ice, snow, rain, oil, etc. that can affect your footing.
Make certain your footing is secure.
• Position the load binder with short portion of barrel
close to the trailer attachment point, so the reaction
bar rests against the floor of the trailer after tensioning.
Alternately, position the reaction bar against the object
being secured.
• Do not attempt to hold the reaction bar to prevent rotation
while tensioning.
• Tension the Torque Drive binder using a rotation tool
such as cordless drill equipped with a 14 mm socket. If
the cordless drill is not available, a manual wrench or tool
equipped with a 14 mm socket can be used to tighten or
loosen.
• To tighten the load binder, the drill rotates the 14
mm hex head clockwise. Loosening is achieved by
counterclockwise rotation of the 14 mm hex head.
• After tensioning, the reaction bar must be restrained to
prevent barrel rotation and unintended loosening of the
load binder.
• Cordless drills with approximately 800 Lb.- In. maximum
torque output can be used and provide adequate
tensioning for most load securement applications.
• Never exceed the Working Load Limit of the load binder.
• Do not use ½” or larger impact drivers, as the torque of
these devices can damage the gears and over-tension
the load securement system.
• After tensioning, it should take about 15– 20 pounds
of force to pull the reaction bar away from the floor or
secured object.
• Chain tension may change due to load shifting during
transport. Ensure the load binder remains in proper
position, and retighten as required.
• When releasing the load, be aware that the load may
have shifted, and may have become unstable.
Inspection / Maintenance
• Routinely check load binders for elongation, wear,
bending, cracks, nicks, gouges or corrosion. If bending
or cracks are present – Do not use load binder.
• Routinely (approximately every 30 cycles) grease the
gear set through the grease fitting, using a medium
consistency EP grease.
• Routinely clean and lubricate screw threads of load
binder to extend product life and reduce friction wear.
• Inspect drive bolt head for any signs of wear.
