CAUTION
For screwed connections, the fastening screws (standard, strength
class 8.8) are to be tightened with the tightening torques specified in
the appendix (>>> 16 "Appendix" Page 138). Tightening torques devi-
ating from these values are specified directly.
The specified screw sizes and strength classes are those valid at the
copy deadline. The specifications contained in the Parts Catalog are,
however, always to be taken as the most up-to-date information.
Screws of strength class 10.9 and higher as well as APZ screws may
only be tightened once with the rated tightening torque. When the
screws are first slackened they must be replaced with new ones.
