Default Help: how to adj. torque wrench

Hi, I have a torque wrench, probably about 4 yrs. old that I need help with. I lost the instruction to the torque wrench, and I forgot how to adj. the inch/lb. on this torque wrench. Can someone help me figure it out? Here are the pictures..





There are 4 measurements on the left as you can see. 120 inch / 360 Inch / 600 Inch / 840 Inch. And on the handle itself, it has a gauge with number 0,2,4,6,8.

If I have 0 on the handle line up to 120 Inch, does that mean it's set at 120in/lb?

Thanks for any help... I am trying to set this to 36inch/lb so I can tighten down the Kinetix Plenum..

yeah thats right, but I wouldn't trust the calibration of that wrench if it's been sitting for 4 years dialed in at 120 like that pic shows. Those "clicker" style torque wrenches need to be backed off to 0 after every use.
