DECREASING/INCREASING READING VALUE (Forward or Backwards
Adjustment)
The second adjustment that can be made to a dial wrench is to decrease or increase the
reading values. To adjust the reading take the Dial Wrench Adjusting Tool (Part #600-2)
and gently move the push rod:
♦
Away from the movement (backward) to increase the reading values, if the wrench
values are reading low.
♦
Toward the movement forward) to decrease the reading values, if the wrench values
are reading high.
If a slight movement of the push rod doesn’t
bring the wrench into calibration, the wrench
must be re-gaged. Do not bend the push rod so
that it is touching the plate or almost all the
way out of the movement loop. To re-gage the
case must be removed from the plate assembly.
After removing the case measure the distance
between the push rod bent end and the end of
the movement loop, with the inside diameter
end (blades) of a caliper.
Then loosen the screws on the channel. Every
0.010 increase or decrease of the distance will
change the reading value approximately 3 to 6 %.
After moving the push rod, tighten the channel
screws, re-assemble with the case and test the
readings.
