SAFETY IMPORTANT: DO NOT OPERATE THE TOOL BEFORE READING THESE INSTRUCTIONS. FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY OR DAMAGE TO THE TOOL. This tool is intended for use with threaded fasteners. Any other use is not recommended. These tools require a reaction bar.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS To operate the Handtorque multiplier you will need the following:- Power Drive or Impact Quality Sockets. Reaction Arm. Norbar or other quality torque wrench. INPUT SQUARE ANTI WIND-UP DRIVE RATCHET INPUT SQUARE DRIVE ANTI WIND-UP RATCHET...
Square Drive and must be allowed to rest squarely against a solid object or surface adjacent to the bolt to be tightened (see Figure 2). Where the standard reaction plate is not suitable, it may be possible to adapt it. Refer to your Norbar distributor for advice.

Establish the correct torque figure for the bolt from manufacturer’s instructions or by calculation. A torque tension calculator is available on the Norbar website (www.norbar.com), which can be used as a guide to help calculate the tension generated in a bolt for a given thread size, torque and friction value.
Select a suitable torque wrench for the input torque. The wrench should be of high quality and regularly calibrated. The HT 52, 72 and 92 Compact Series models can also come as part of a kit which includes a Norbar TTi Torque Wrench and Carry Case. The table below details the range of Handtorque...
ANTI WIND-UP RATCHET Purpose of the Anti Wind-Up Ratchet (AWUR) Most multipliers with ratios of 25:1 and over are fitted with an anti wind-up ratchet. The multiplier can be thought of as a spring which must be fully wound before any tightening/untightening work can be applied to the bolt.

The tool may now be removed from the fastener. Familiarise yourself with this tool by initially applying low torques and removing wind-up. We recommend that the Anti Wind up assembly input gear and ratchet teeth are inspected annually by your Norbar approved distributor for wear or damage.
FIGURE 12 Any other maintenance or repairs should be carried out by Norbar or a Norbar approved agent and should form part of a service. Service intervals will depend on the type of usage of the tools and the environment in which they are being used.
