IMPORTANT: before final tightening of the M8 AeroSpace Nuts (2), it is important to
make sure that there is a balanced amounts of thread showing through the M8 AeroSpace
Nuts (2) on each side of the Quad-Links. Using the 4mm Allen key or flat-bladed screwdriv-
er in the end of the M8 Shafts (3 or *3), and the 10mm spanner, adjust all 4 M8 Shafts (3
or *3) accordingly. Refer to Fig. 16.
Tighten all M8 AeroSpace Nuts (2) to the recommended settings. (Refer to the Tightening
torque settings in Section 7.0) Next make sure that there is still a substantial amount of
Molykote 111 Silicon covering all the KP5AX Bearings. Lastly refit the Link Bearing Caps (1)
by carefully screwing them into the link body. Take care not to cross thread the fine
thread. Tighten all Link Bearing Caps (1) to the recommended settings. (Refer to the Tight-
ening torque settings in Section 7.0). Wipe off any excess Molykote 111 Silicon from
around the links and frame.
