BOLTS, NUTS, WASHERS, SAFETY WIRE, SPLIT PINS AND ATTACHMENTS:
Lock-nuts, lock-washers, split pins and safety wire should not be reused after removal. Fit
new.
If in need of replacement, replace bolts, nuts, washers and connecting hardware with items
of the same specification.
Ensure bolt and nut threads are clean and dry before fitment, unless otherwise specified by
the manufacturer.
Inspect all bolts, nuts and screws for damage and corrosion before reinstallation. Replace if
necessary.
Apply safety wire and / or split pins as required.
Do not overstress safety-wire, as it will break under vibration if twisted to tightly. It is
preferable to twist safety wire with locking pliers. If safety wire is to be twisted by hand,
ensure 6 to 8 twists per inch (25.4 mm).
Ensure that safety wire is installed in such a manner as to prevent the loosening of the part
to which it is applied.
Where specified, bolts and nuts should be torqued to the indicated value. Use a calibrated
torque wrench with adequate range. Where possible, apply the torque to the nut and not the
bolt. This will prevent rotation of the bolt in the hole and will reduce wear on the bolt hole.
Where applicable apply creep marks to bolts and nuts.

CIRCUIT
BREAKERS AND SWITCHES:
Electrical wiring and cables must be replaced with wire and cables of the same rating and
specification.
Replace defective switches with switches of equivalent rating.
Circuit breakers should be replaced with circuit breakers of identical rating.
Circuit breakers (if of the type operable by hand) should be periodically cycled with NO
LOAD (i.e. with the electrical system turned of) to enhance contact performance.
Electrical connectors should be replaced with connectors of the same mechanical
specification and electrical rating.
