    User’s Guide ® ® Download at: www.mark-10.com/resources 1.2 Safety / Proper Usage Caution! Note the torque gauge’s capacity before use and ensure that the capacity is not exceeded. Producing a torque greater than 150% of the gauge’s capacity can damage the internal sensor. An overload can occur whether the gauge is powered on or off.
  • Page 4: Power

    Series TT03 Digital Torque Gauges User’s Guide 2 POWER The TT03 is powered either by an 8.4V NiMH rechargeable battery or by an AC adapter. Since these batteries are subject to self discharge, it may be necessary to recharge the unit after a prolonged period of storage.
