7. Pull the lock ring down and turn the handle until you reach the desired reading on the
tester as follows:
A. If the reading on the tester was below the accuracy limit for the value tested turn the
handle clockwise to increase the value. Release the lock ring. Repeat this test and
adjustment procedure until the torque reading is within the accuracy limits.
B. If the reading on the tester was above the accuracy limit for the value tested turn the
handle counterclockwise to decrease the value. Release the lock ring. Repeat this
test and adjustment procedure until the torque reading is within the accuracy limits.
Release the lock ring and check the value on the tester.
8. With the lock ring in the locked position and holding the wrench handle firmly to
prevent rotation of the handle, loosen the hex flange nut with the calibration crank
handle (approximately 2 full turns). Sometimes this will disengage the hex flange nut
from the screw and on other wrenches the hex flange nut will remain on the load
screw. The Torque seal will show a crack between the nut and screw. Remove the
loose torque seal from the nut and screw.
