Installation Notes

Torque wrenches should be used by qualified technicians familiar with fastener torque specifications for the application at hand. Always consult the equipment manufacturer's service documentation for required torque values before use. Do not use a torque wrench as a breaker bar or for loosening fasteners, as this can damage the internal mechanism and affect calibration accuracy. Store the wrench at its minimum torque setting when not in use to preserve the internal spring mechanism.
