Tightening torques
G
WARNING
Bolts or nuts which have been tightened using the incorrect torque:
R
may come loose if the torque is too low
R
may be overstretched if the torque is too high and consequently break off
A torque that is too high may also damage the components. There is a risk of an accident.
Always tighten the bolts and nuts to the specified torque. If you do not own a torque wrench,
have this work carried out at a qualified specialist workshop.
