Tips from the Experts
It is extremely important to keep all hardware tight:
- Use new bolts and nuts when installing new end bits and cutting edges to ensure against metal fatigue
- Surfaces must be clean of dirt, paint, scale, rust, and weld splatter
- Mating surfaces must be clean and flat to assure maximum clamping force
- Bolt and nut threads must be clean; do not apply lubricant to the hardware, as this may over-stretch the bolt
- Cutting-edge bolts are installed from the center outward or from one end to the other
- End-bit bolts are installed first from the center outward, then from the center inward
- Tighten all bolts to the required torque
- Seat bolt heads in the countersinks with a heavy hammer
- Tighten the bolts again to required torque
