The torque collar is designed to turn stiffly so that a preset torque level it will not change. In
most cases adjustment will require a spanner wrench (included).
Note:
For standard RT Kit Units this setting has not been preset at the factory and
should be set to a torque appropriate for your application.
For custom units this setting is adjusted at the factory and should be tested on-site
before performing any adjustments.
Measuring the torque setting is accomplished by locking two nuts on the thread gage member
and using a torque wrench to measure the stall torque of the clutch. The torque should be
adjusted in small increments and tested to achieve the desired value.
Warning:
We highly recommend that you remove the battery from the unit while
setting the torque.
Do not run the tool in the reverse direction while performing this procedure. The
clutch only slips in one direction. The full torque of the unit will be exerted if the
unit is jogged in the reverse.
Procedure
1. Use a small torque wrench with a range of at least 0-45 in-lbs. (0-5N-m).
2. Remove the battery from the unit.
3. Lock two nuts on the thread gage. Install a matching socket on the torque wrench.
4. With one hand hold the torque wrench with the socket holding the nuts and measure the
torque setting by turning the wrench in the forward (clockwise for right-hand threads)
direction. The actual torque is read while the
clutch is slipping.
5. To adjust the clutch setting, turn the knob to
the required setting. Turning the knob
clockwise increases the amount of torque
needed. If the collar is too hard to turn by hand
use the included spanner wrench.
6. Remove the nuts from the gage.
