Ripley LBIT-1T cable tool – Operating Instructions

  • 1. Assemble the T-Bar handle (A) into the tool body and secure by tightening screw (B).
  • 2. Slide the bushing insert onto the tool shaft until the socket drive on the end of the tool shaft (C) seats itself in the bottom of the bushing insert.
  • 3. Position the tool with the bushing insert into the bushing well on the pad mounted transformer and carefully rotate the tool to thread the bushing insert onto the stud.
  • 4. Continue to rotate the tool and tighten until the clutch ratcheting is felt. An audible snapping will be heard, along with the clutch ratcheting of the tool. This will indicate the torque value of 180 in/lbs. has been reached.

For Additional Leverage

  • The T-Bar handle can be repositioned by loosening screw (B) and sliding the T-Bar handle to the groove(s) provided.
  • A 3/8” (9.53mm) drive opening (D) at the top of the tool is also provided for using a 3/8” (9.53mm) socket wrench as leverage.
  • 7/8” (22.2mm) hexagon (E) for a fixed or adjustable wrench.
  • A 13/16” (20.64mm) pentagon (F) is provided for using a penta-socket wrench.
