Niro Soavi S.p.A
4.3. TIGHTENING NUTS AND STUDS
All the studs used in the compression head are subject to vibrating stress so, in
addition to being made of special, highly resistant material with an accurate
processing cycle, they require specific tightening in accordance with the values
shown in Table 4.3.1.
It is also necessary to frequently check screwn and nuts to make sure that they
do not become loose.
NIRO SOAVI supplies a Maintenance box with the wrenches needed for the
nuts fitted on their machines; we suggest you use a dynamometric wrench (not
included) to check tightening torques as specified in the table below.
