The Universal TAU-II Crash Cushion has been successfully tested in various configurations
having the cable torque ranging from 120 ft-lbs for asphalt installation, to 500 ft-lbs of torque for
concrete applications. The system will function properly under this full range of torque. If a torque
wrench is not available, refer to the table below for an alternate method of reaching the desired
torque range.
Ways of creating approximately 500 ft-lbs of torque:

6 ft. [1. 8 m] wrench extension with entire weight of 100 lbs [45 kg] applied 12" from
the end

42 in. [1.1 m] wrench extension with entire weight of 200 lbs [90 kg] applied 12" from the
end

Use free weights or human weight
These methods should ensure torque within tested range and manufacturer tolerances.
