3.0 General Operating Instructions
WARNING!
Only qualified personnel with training in the safe operation of torque tooling and the B-RAD
Tool System should operate this tool. Refer to the Important Safety Notice for more
information.
The B-RAD operates in Torque Cycles. The Torque Cycle passes when the Actual Torque
reaches the Target Torque and the Cycle fails if it is interrupted before the Actual Torque
reaches the Target Torque.
This section instructs the operator in the use of the Reaction Arm needed for B-RAD
operation and how to conduct a Torque Cycle.
3.1 Reaction Arm
WARNING!
Always keep body parts clear of the Reaction Arm when the B-RAD Tool System is
in use. Serious injury could occur.
CAUTION!
Ensure the Reaction Arm has a solid contact point before operating the B-RAD
Tool System.
3.1.1 Installing the Reaction Arm
Ensure the Reaction Arm and Snap 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. Keep your body parts clear of the Reaction Arm when the tool is in
operation.
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 (Figure 3.1.1-1).
