6. OPERATINGTHETORQUETOOL

1) Fitthetoolintotheuniversal,‘bolt‐on’,handwheeldriveplate.
2) MovetheDirectionSelectorSwitch(D)fromtheneutralpositionandintoeitherforwardor
reverseasrequired.
3) SqueezethesoftstartTrigger(C)toactivatethetoolandapplythetorque.
4) FullypressthesoftstartTrigger(C)andkeeppresseduntilthetoolstalls.Ifthetriggerisreleased
beforethetorquetoolstalls,fulltorquewillnotbeappliedtothevalve.Oncethemotorstallsdo
not“blip”thetrigger,orincorrecttorquewillbeapplied.
5) Inuse,thetorquetoolmustbesupportedatalltimes.
6) Ifavalvewillnotoperatewhenthetoolissettomaximumonthecalibrationcertificate,donot
“blip”thetriggerrepeatedly,andusetoolingofhighertorqueoutput.
7) Removetoolfromvalve.
IMPORTANT:Ifbreakdown,malfunctionordamageoccursdonotattempttorepair,contactSmithFlow
ControlLimited
