    DANGER
    Failure to obey the instructions and safety
    rules in the appropriate Operator’s Manual and
    Service Manual for your machine will result in
    death or serious injury.

    Many of the hazards identified in the


    Operator’s Manual are also safety hazards
    when maintenance and repair procedures are
    performed.

    DO NOT PERFORM
    MAINTENANCE UNLESS:
    √ You are trained and qualified to perform
    maintenance on this machine.
    √ You read, understand and obey:
    • manufacturer’s instructions and safety rules
    • employer’s safety rules and worksite
    regulations
    • applicable governmental regulations
    .

    √ You have the appropriate tools, lifting


    equipment and a suitable workshop.

    The information contained in this Tech Tip is a


    supplement to the Service Manual. Consult the

    STEP 1
    Shown in FIGURE 4 are examples of items that
    affect the torque applied to the fastener.

    Any adapter or offset that changes the distance


    between the centerline of the fastener and the
    centerline of the torque wrench drive will require
    an adjustment to the setting of the torque
    wrench. If no adjustment is made, the fastener
    will not have the correct torque applied to it.
    A straight extension used between the adapter
    and the torque wrench does not affect the torque
    setting.

    FIGURE 4

    STEP 2 STEP 3
    The formula to adjust your torque wrench We will use a desired torque of 180 ft.-lbs. in
    setting is: the following examples.
    (Torque Wrench Length X Torque Desired)

    Divided by:

    (Torque Wrench Length + Extension Length)

    TECH TIP 53 | RELEASED 07.26.2022 | VERSION 1.0 PAGE 5 OF 13


    EXAMPLE A

    STEP 1
    Determine length of torque adapter or offset of fastener to torque wrench by measuring the distance
    between the centers as shown below.

    The length of the torque adapter in the picture is 3 inches.

    TECH TIP 53 | RELEASED 07.26.2022 | VERSION 1.0 PAGE 6 OF 13


    STEP 2
    Measure the length of your torque wrench from the center of rotation to the center of the handle.
    Some wrenches have a mark on the handle for reference. If no reference mark is present on the
    torque wrench, mark the center of the handle area for measurement.

    The length of the torque wrench pictured is 18.5 inches.

    TECH TIP 53 | RELEASED 07.26.2022 | VERSION 1.0 PAGE 7 OF 13


    STEP 3
    (Torque Wrench Length X Torque Desired) = (18.5 x 180) = 3,330

    Divided by:

    (Torque Wrench Length + Extension Length) = (18.5 + 3) = 21.5 inches

    3,330 / 21.5 = 155 ft.-lbs.

    A torque wrench setting of 155 ft.-lbs. is needed to adjust for the 3 inch torque adapter being used to
    get a torque value of 180 ft.-lbs.

    EXAMPLE B

    STEP 1
    When the adapter is at a 45 degree angle as shown in the photograph above, adjustment of the
    torque value is required.

    TECH TIP 53 | RELEASED 07.26.2022 | VERSION 1.0 PAGE 8 OF 13


    STEP 2
    Determine effective length of torque adapter to torque wrench using the same methods as Step 1 in
    Example A.

    In the following examples, the effective length of the 3 inch adapter used at 45 degrees is 2.125
    inches.

    TECH TIP 53 | RELEASED 07.26.2022 | VERSION 1.0 PAGE 9 OF 13


    STEP 3 STEP 4
    Using the same torque wrench as in Example (18.5 x 180) / (18.5 + 2.125) = 3330 / 20.625 =
    A, the torque wrench length is 18.5 inches. 161 ft.-lbs.

    A torque wrench setting of 161 ft.-lbs. is needed


    to adjust for the 3 inch torque adapter being
    used at a 45 degree angle.

    EXAMPLE C

    STEP 1
    When the adapter is at a 90 degree angle as shown in the photograph above, no adjustment of the
    torque value is needed. The length of the adaptor is parallel to the wrench, meaning the distance is
    the same as if no adapter was being used.

    TECH TIP 53 | RELEASED 07.26.2022 | VERSION 1.0 PAGE 10 OF 13


    EXAMPLE D

    STEP 1
    In example D, a universal joint or swivel socket is being used. The torque applied is not changed if
    the swivel is used at an angle of 15 degrees or less.

    EXAMPLE E

    TECH TIP 53 | RELEASED 07.26.2022 | VERSION 1.0 PAGE 11 OF 13


    STEP 1
    In example E, the offset is 1.25 inches because of the crow foot wrench being used.

    STEP 2
    The torque wrench length is this example is 13.5 inches.

    STEP 3
    (13.5 x 180) / (13.5 + 1.25) = 2430 / 14.75 = 165 ft.-lbs.

    A torque wrench setting of 165 ft.-lbs. is needed to adjust for the 1 inch offset while using the crow
    foot as shown to get a torque value of 180 ft-lbs.
