D Where it is found that a nut can be turned considerably less than the others, it
must be assumed that the respective cylinder cover stud has become insuffi-

Possible causes:
− Sealing rings 7 defective (Fig. ’C’).
− Piston 4 jams.
− Junctions of HP hoses leaky.
D To remedy the cause, loosen all cylinder cover studs and then repeat the ten-

⇒ Release pressure to ’0’ and remove all pre-tensioning jacks.
Verify that all nuts have been turned equally by an angle of about 255_.
