5.0 – GENERAL OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
Only qualified personnel with training in the safe operation of torque tooling and the BC-
RAD Select Tool System should operate this tool. Refer to the Important Safety Notice for
more information.
The BC-RAD Select operates in Torque Cycles. The Torque Cycle passes when the Actual Torque
reaches the Target Torque, and the Cycle fails if it is interrupted before the Actual Torque reaches the
Target Torque.
This section instructs the operator in the use of the Reaction Arm needed for BC-RAD Select operation
and how to conduct a Torque Cycle.

WARNING
Always keep body parts clear of the Reaction Arm when the BC-RAD Select Tool System
is in use. Serious injury could occur.
CAUTION
Ensure the Reaction Arm has a solid contact point before operating the BC-RAD Select
Tool System.
5.1.1 – Installing the Reaction Arm
Ensure the Reaction Arm and Snap Ring are installed securely to hold the Reaction Arm in place. Make
sure the Reaction Arm is in contact with a solid Reaction Point before you operate the tool. Keep your
body parts clear of the Reaction Arm when the tool is in operation.
When the tool is in operation the Reaction Arm rotates in the opposite direction to the Output Square
Drive and must be allowed to rest squarely against a solid object or surface adjacent to the bolt to be
tightened (Figure 5.1.1-1).
