ST2-NG Pre-build "Think Tank"

Fortunately it has instructions on how to compensate.

Having a big truck is cool and all but how do you account for the torque inaccuracy?

There's a formula to adjust to a lower setting or you put the torque wrench 90⁰ to the adapter and the amount does not change. If the amount is 180ft/lbs, you drop it to 155ft/lbs and you'll achieve the torque spec. Since the cylinders get torque to either 15ft/lbs (I think have to look it up again) or 13ft/lbs, long as I have room, should be fine.

How to Adjust Torque Values When Using Torque Adapters

Understanding fastener torque and the corresponding values is important when working on Terex bucket trucks and Terex digger derricks.
