To properly use the HILTI HAT 28 Anchor Tester, follow these steps:
1. Prepare the working area by ensuring it is clean, well-lit, and free of clutter. Wear personal protective equipment, including protective goggles, rubber gloves, and non-skid shoes.
2. Familiarize yourself with the product and its components. The product overview section in the manual provides a detailed description of each component.
3. Select the appropriate adapter for the fastener you want to test. The manual provides instructions on how to use different types of adapters based on the specific application.
4. Mount the load distribution bridge on the tester. For certain tests, such as HAP 2.5 tests, use longer screws to secure the bridge.
5. Adjust the length of the threaded legs to ensure all three legs are in contact with the supporting surface and the pull-out movement is along the axis of the fastener.
6. Set the red pointer of the pressure gauge to zero.
7. Hold the tester by the grip and turn the crank clockwise to increase the load on the fastener. Keep a firm hold on the grip throughout the test.
8. Observe the displacement scale on the pull-out tester to monitor any signs of failure of the fastener.
9. Increase the load until the minimum specified load is attained.
10. To relieve the load on the fastener, turn the crank counter-clockwise and push it down until the original state is reached.
11. Remove the pull-out tester and adapter.
Please note that these are general instructions, and it is essential to refer to the specific instructions and safety precautions provided in the HILTI HAT 28 Anchor Tester Instruction Manual for accurate and safe usage.
