A technician is installing an engine intake manifold that requires a staged tightening procedure using hand tools and a calibrated micrometer click-type torque wrench. Arrange the following steps into the correct chronological sequence from the beginning of assembly to tool storage.
- 1Thread and seat all fasteners finger-tight into the mounting holes.
- 2Run down the fasteners evenly until lightly snug in a specified sequence using a hand ratchet and socket.
- 3Tighten each fastener in sequence to the initial staged torque value using a click-type torque wrench.
- 4Pull the torque wrench in a smooth, continuous motion until it clicks at the final manufacturer torque specification.
- 5Adjust the torque wrench micrometer handle back to its lowest calibrated setting and store it in its protective case.
Cevap
The correct sequence starts with threading fasteners finger-tight by hand, snugging them with a hand ratchet, applying the initial torque stage with a torque wrench, completing the final torque stage, and finally resetting the torque wrench to its lowest setting for storage.
The proper sequence proceeds logically from initial thread engagement to tool preservation: hand-starting fasteners prevents cross-threading, running them down with a ratchet seats the assembly, applying progressive torque stages distributes load evenly without warping the flange, and resetting the torque wrench relieves spring compression to maintain calibration accuracy.
