For special couplings on this vehicle, refer to
2.3.4 .
If not otherwise specified, the tightening torque settings refer
to clean, dry and ambient temperature threads.
NOTE In order to avoid any possible deformation and/or
wrong coupling, please tighten screws and bolts as follows:
•
Snug all fasteners by hand.
•
Apply half of the recommended tightening torque value
and tighten the opposite parts: (A) and (B); (C) and (D).
•
Repeat the above operation by tightening to the
specified torque value.
NOTE The pressure on the fastening parts will be thus
evenly distributed on the coupling surface.
