  NOTE: TECHNICAL INFORMATION 
  When using special tools that extend the lever arm of the torque wrench, the setpoint torque deviates from the adjustable torque.
  NOTE: Schematic diagram is for example purposes. Some parts may differ in certain details.

• Converting the setpoint torque into the torque to be set:

  (Setpoint torque x L1): L2 = Torque to be set

  L1 = Length from the center of the handle to the reversible ratchet head

  L2 = Length from the center of the handle to the center of the ring on the special tool

• Tighten bolts (1) with special tool 2 463 965 and tighten with the torque wrench.

  While doing so, the special tool and the torque wrench must align while tightening,

• Tighten the screws (1).
