Do not use impact screwdrivers. Using an impact
screwdriver may cause impermissible deviations between
the bolt tightening forces. Failure of the bolted union with
the mounting structure may cause severe personal injury
or material damage.
IMPORTANT
If there are shock loads or vibration additional screw-
locking devices may be necessary. In this case use Loctite
or Nord-Lock® bolt lock washers.
Do not use split rings, spring washers, etc.
Do not reuse bolts, nuts, and washers, etc.
Only use hardened and tempered washers.
Adjust the limit torque in accordance with bolt size and quality.
Use a precisely indicating torque wrench.
