Risk of damage to the bolts on the slewing bearing!
All bolts were tightened at the factory with a certain torque, and this should
be checked during maintenance. Only slight tightening of the bolts is
permissible, if required.
You may not loosen the bolts and re-tighten them, or completely unscrew
and then reuse them.
If the superstructure has to be removed from the carrier, only a complete
set of new bolts may be used to reinstall the superstructure. Only original
bolts manufactured according to the factory specifications may be used.
