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