When tightening a lock nut, if it is difficult to use a torque wrench, manage the tightening torque of the 
lock nut controlling the tightening angle range as explained below. 
  Distortion correction of slip washers and lock washers 
a)  Tighten the lock nut by hand. 
b)  Use a lock nut wrench and tighten until the rotor turns. 
c)  Use a lock nut wrench and a hammer, hit twice lightly. 
d)  Use a lock nut wrench and a hammer, loosen the lock nut. 
 
  Tightening Angle Range of Lock Nuts for Rotors 
a)  After tightening the lock nut by hand, further tighten the lock nut by using a lock nut wrench until the 
rotor starts to turn. Take care not to over-tighten. 
b)  Put a mark on the lock nut at the right side edge of the rotor groove where the stopper tongue of the 
lock washer fits in, as shown in Figure 7-8. 
c)  From this marking position, tighten the lock nut in such a way that rotation can be stopped within the 
tightening angle range shown in Table 7-15.   
    When measuring the angle, use an angle gauge which is set to the diameter of rotor shaft.
