Risk of damage to the bolts on the slewing bearing!
All bolts have been tightened at the factory to a certain torque, and this
should be checked during maintenance. Only slight tightening of the bolts
is permissible, if required.
You may not slacken the bolts and re-tighten them, or completely unscrew
and then reuse them.
If the superstructure has to be removed from the carrier, only a com-
pletely new set of bolts may be used to reinstall the superstructure. Only
original screws should be used manufactured according to the factory
specifications.
