The use of used nuts or bolts is not permitted.
To avoid cold welding and guarantee the testability of
the bolted

flange and slide onto the spigot.
2. If the bolt head has a stop or is flush with the fastening: if
necessary, tighten the bolt with screwdriver up to a snug
torque (approx. 0.3 M
A
) ( Tab. 6.1, page 37).
3. Tighten the bolts using a calibrated torque wrench, quickly and
without interruptions,to a tightening torque of M
A
.
For a blind hole connection:
1. S
crew stud bolts into blind hole (if using self-locking nuts
secure the male thread of the studs e.g. with Loctite 242.
Follow the special instructions of the manufacturer for blind
holes).
2. Align the universal joint shaft with respect to the connecting
flange and slide onto the spigot.
3. Thread on the nuts and using a calibrated torque wrench,
