PREPARATION

Nord-Lock washers always come in pairs. If your washer is accidentally separated make sure the washers are mounted cam facing cam.

Do you have a tight fit between the bolt and the hole? Use the standard washer.

Do you have a loose fit between the bolt and the hole? Use the enlarged (SP) washer. Ideal for use on large/slotted holes, painted surfaces and soft materials. We recommend the use of flanged head bolts and nuts with our SP washers.
INSTALL AND TORQUE THE NORD-LOCK WASHERS
![](/globalassets/mediavalet/web-assets/pictures/nord-lock/instructions/10_installation_lubrication.png?mode=pad&width=800&heightratio=0.3333)
If you use lubrication, this is when you apply it. Go to this link for more information about lubrication.

Place the washer on the bolt. Place the bolt in the hole, place the nut on the stud and mount by hand until positioning is completed.

FINAL CHECK
![](/globalassets/mediavalet/web-assets/pictures/nord-lock/instructions/stud-bolt/plain_washer_studbolt_800x640.png?mode=pad&width=800&heightratio=0.3333)
Never use a plain/flat washer with Nord-Lock washers. If you need a larger diameter washer, use the Nord-Lock SP washer.

Never divide the washers and only use one of the washers.
![](/globalassets/mediavalet/web-assets/pictures/nord-lock/instructions/stud-bolt/studbolt_missaligned.png?mode=pad&width=800&heightratio=0.3333)
Make sure the washer is aligned and rest flat.
