IMPORTANT: CARE MUST BE TAKEN TO ENSURE THAT THE REACTION PLATE IS ONLY USED
WITHIN THE LIMITATIONS SHOWN IN FIGURES 3, 4, 5 AND 6.
For special applications or where extra deep sockets must be used the standard arm may be extended but
only within the limitations shown in Figures 3, 4, 5 and 6.
WARNING:
Standard square drive extensions MUST NOT be used as these will cause serious damage to the wrench
output drive. Norbar manufacture a range of nose extensions for applications where access is restricted and
these are designed to support the final drive correctly.
It is essential the reaction bar rests squarely against a solid object or surface adjacent to the fastener to be
tightened, with reaction taken at the end of the reaction bar.
The supplied reaction bar has been designed to give an ideal reaction point when used with a standard
length socket. If an extra long socket is used it may move the reaction bar outside the safe reaction window,
as shown in figures 3, 4, 5 and 6. The standard reaction bar may need to be extended to ensure it remains
wholly within the shaded area.
