•
The RUD-eye bolts must be completely screwed down, lying fully on the seating surfaces.

The RUD-eye bolts are hand-screwed with their own star-profile wrenches (do not use
any extension).

In order that after tightening the ring of the RUD-eye bolt can freely turn, the star-profile
wrench must be removed from the inner hexagon of the screw.
•
Prior to loading the RUD-eye bolt adjust it in force direction (RUD-eye bolts are not
suitable to be turned under load).
•
Lateral loading is permitted in no circumstances (see Figure 3-1).
