lnsert the axle and position it in the bores. Install the sleeves, then the tension washers and fasteners. Cross-tighten the fasteners with recommended torque.
Torque recommendations
Hex Bolts
Torques M12-M24 ± 10%, M30... +30/-0%
| M12 | M14 | M16 | M20 | M24 | M30 | M36 | M42 | |
| Nm | 70 | 115 | 175 | 350 | 500 | 600 | 700 | 900 |
| lb-ft | 52 | 85 | 129 | 258 | 369 | 443 | 516 | 664 |
Final check
After initial torque, grease the pivot (if applicable), move the machine through full range of motion several times and recheck the torque.
Ensure that there is a minimum distance of 0,5 mm (0.02”) between the washer and the lug. NOTE! For flange design, there should be a minimum distance of 6 mm for easy removal of the sleeve. ATTENTION! If the washer is in contact with the lug, contact your dealer or Expander System.
