3.2 Screw fasteners
Metric threads are used on the machine.
Some bolt fasteners are locked with screws treated
with Eslok
®
Nylon 180°. The screw threads have a
red coating. These screws can be retted three
times before having to be replaced.
Always torque tighten screw unions to the specied
torque table unless specied otherwise in the text.

Certain unions are screwed into the goods with a
through screw and a locknut. The thread in the
goods is intended to take the effective torque and
the locknut is to secure the union during use.
Therefore, the main part of the torque - screw in the
goods - should always be tightened rst and then
secured with the locknut, which is tightened with
less torque. If the locknut is tightened with too high a
torque, the screw in the goods thread will be
unstressed and the bolt fastening will come loose
during use.
Hydraulic Couplings
When assembling hydraulic hoses and pipes, rst
tighten their cap nuts by hand to stop. Then tighten a
further 1½ ats of the wrench grip. This corresponds
to an approximate 90° turn.
