NOTE: Do not use this torque wrench before reading these instructions. If the torque wrench does not
function properly, do not attempt to repair the torque wrench, but contact RAD Torque Systems B.V.
immediately
NOTE: The tool can be used with single-phase alternating current. It is grounded in accordance with
Class II VDE 0740 and CEE 20. The connection may also be provided by non-grounded electrical
outlets. The radio interference suppression meets EC Directive 82/499.
NOTE: Prior to use, check whether the supply voltage matches the operating voltage indicated.
RAD electric torque wrenches are torque-controlled. Correct operation requires the following:
• Impact sockets with locking pin and o-ring
• Proper reaction arm with retaining ring
• These torque wrenches contain metal components that can be dangerous in explosion hazardous
areas.
The torque wrench may only be operated, calibrated or repaired by qualied personnel. The torque
wrench contains rotating objects. The use of this tool by untrained persons may result in serious injuries.
After performing 20,000 joints, the tool must be maintained, including lubrication of the multiplier. You will
receive this message every time you start the tool after reaching 20,000 joints.
1. The torque wrenches of the MV-RAD series are high-capacity, clockwise and counter clockwise
rotating torque wrenches equipped with an automatic torque depending shutdown
2. The torque wrench is calibrated to a so-called medium-hard joint
3. The torque wrench responds to soft and hard joints. This also applies to mutual hard or soft joints
in different materials. Therefore, the torque wrench must be set to the proper value for each joint,
depending on the desired torque. The torque should be determined in advance, using a transducer.
4. To ensure that the tool reaches the pre-set torque, the relevant joint requires an angle of at least 90°
from the start of the tightening until reaching the torque. After reaching the set torque, the torque
wrench will switch off automatically.
5. For joints for which the tool is used to check the joint, the torque wrench will be loaded to maximum
capacity.
6. The torque wrench is not suitable for checking the torque. However, this is possible in combination
with our Smart Socket.

User manual MV-RAD
When the torque wrench is in operation, the reaction arm will move oppositely to the direction of rotation. It
is essential that the reaction arm can react off a solid surface (adjacent to the joint to be tightened).
WARNING: To prevent injury, always make sure that the hands of the user remain out of the range of the
reaction arm when the torque wrench is in operation.
NOTE: To return to the normal program plus angle, enter 09760 in the third step and activate the Norm-
Program by press the “M“ button and return to the torque ready mode.
4. Sengthetorque
4.1 Setting the torque
1. the torque is set via the keypad at the top of the torque wrench
2. the torque value is selected by pressing the centre key “M”
3. the torque can be set using the arrow keys
4. the torque value is conrmed by pressing the centre key “M” once more. This concludes setting the
torque. Now, the angle can be set, if this option is available
5. the angle is now selected. Repeat steps 3 and 4.
4.2 Torque Check program (option)
To select the Torque Check program follow the following steps:
1. press the centre key “M”
2. use the arrow keys to navigate to “password“ and press “M“
3. enter 02699 to enable the Torque Check program and press “M“
4. use the arrow keys to navigate to T-Check-Program and press “M“
5. the Torque Check program is now activated, press “Back” 3 times to get back in the torque ready
mode
When operating this torque wrench:
1. use only suitable and proper impact sockets
2. the handle can be rotated for ease of installation
3. there may be no clearance between the torque wrench and the reaction arm
4. the reaction arm is placed against the reaction point before the trigger is pulled in order to prevent
whipping movements of reaction arm
5. the trigger should be pressed until the torque wrench stops rotating.

WARNING: In use, this tool must be supported at all times in order to prevent unexpected release in the
event of a fastener or component failure!
6.1 Installing the reaction arm
Ensure the reaction arm and retaining ring are installed securely to hold the reaction arm in place. Make
sure the reaction arm is in contact with a solid reaction point before you operate the tool. When the tool
is in operation the reaction arm rotates in the opposite direction to the output square drive and must be
allowed to rest squarely against a solid object or surface adjacent to the bolt to be tightened, see Figure 2.
NOTE: Improper reaction will void warranty and can cause premature tool failure.
6.2 Reaction arm height
Ensure the height of the socket is even with the height of the reaction arm as seen below in Figure 3A.
The height of the socket cannot be shorter or higher than the height of the reaction arm as seen below in
Figure 3B and 3C.
6.3 Reaction arm foot
Ensure the foot of the reaction arm aligns with the length of the nut as seen in Figure 4A. The length of the
foot cannot be shorter or longer than the nut as seen in Figure 4B and 4C.

7. Safetyinstrucons
RAD tools are developed for tightening and loosening threaded fasteners using very large forces. For
your safety and that of others, warning labels and attention labels are prominently attached to the torque
wrench and its accessories.
NOTE: Make sure you observe the directions on the warning labels at all times.
RAD tools have been designed with safety in mind however, as with all tools you must observe all general
workshop safety practices, and specically the following:
1. Before using your new tool, get familiar with all its accessories and how they work
2. Always wear safety goggles when the tool is in operation
3. Make sure the reaction arm is in contact with a solid contact point before you operate the tool
4. Make sure the reaction arm snap ring is securely in place to hold the reaction arm in place.
RAD tools are safe and reliable. Not following precautions and instructions outlined here can result in
injury to you and your fellow workers. RAD Torque Systems B.V. incorporated is not responsible for any
such injury.
