Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the tool is clean before use.
- Select the appropriate bit socket for the bolt you are tightening.
- Attach the socket to the wrench head until it clicks securely into place.
- Set the desired torque value by rotating the handle until the indicator aligns with the target number on the dual-range scale. Once set, engage the slide-to-lock mechanism on the handle.
- Hold the handle firmly and operate the wrench in the direction indicated (clockwise or counter-clockwise) until the wrench clicks audibly and feels like it has reached its torque limit.
Compatibility:
This 1/4-inch drive torque wrench is compatible with all standard 1/4-inch drive sockets and bits. It is primarily designed for bicycle components, covering a wide range of torque requirements for frames, components, and accessories.
Care:
- After use, always return the torque setting to the lowest value (2 Nm) before storing to maintain spring tension.
- Wipe the tool clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh solvents.
- Store the torque wrench and its bits in the provided case in a dry environment to prevent corrosion.
- Periodically check the calibration certificate and consider recalibration if you suspect a loss of accuracy or if the tool has been dropped.
