(d) The tightening section is prevented from
becoming loose.
Example 1: Clamped tire-carrier
• The tightening bolt must be 30 mm or
longer.
• Double nuts must be used for tightening.
• The structure having a height difference for
preventing falling on the bracket.
• The structure having a stopper for
preventing tightening nuts and bolts from
falling.
Example 2: Hoisted tire-carrier
• The structure must have a spring inserted
below the hoisting plate.
• The structure must prevent reverse rotation
