Digital B-RAD USER MANUAL Figure 4.1.1-1 – Reaction Arm Rotation CAUTION! Keep your hand and body parts clear of the Reaction Arm and barrel when the tool is in operation. Figure 4.1.1-2: Incorrect Placement of Hand/Body Parts During Operation 4.1.2 Reaction Arm Height Ensure the height of the socket is even with the height of the Reaction Arm as seen below in Figure 4.1.2-1. The height of the socket cannot be shorter or higher than the height of the Reaction Arm as seen below in Figure 4.1.2-2.
PAGE 24
Digital B-RAD USER MANUAL INCORRECT: The leg of the Reaction Arm is too short on the left side, and too long on the right side. Figure 4.1.2-2: Incorrect Height IMPROPER REACTION WILL VOID WARRANTY AND CAN CAUSE PREMATURE TOOL FAILURE. 4.1.3 Reaction Arm Foot Ensure the foot of the Reaction Arm aligns with the length of the nut as seen in Figure 4.1.3-1. The length of the foot cannot be shorter or longer than the nut as seen in Figure 4.1.3-2.
PAGE 25
Digital B-RAD USER MANUAL CORRECT: Reaction Arm is reacting off the middle of the Reaction Arm’s foot. Figure 4.1.4-1: Correct Reaction Point INCORRECT: Reaction Arm is reacting off the heel of the Reaction Arm. This can cause premature tool failure. Figure 4.1.4-2: Incorrect Reaction Point 4.2 Torque Operation To operate the Torque Cycle: 1. Modify the Target Torque to the desired torque. Refer to Section 3.3.7 – Change the Target Torque if the Digital B-Rad is not in the Locked Level or Section 3.3.
