General
For most bolts and nuts the following table applies.
Check springs for
correct length
The length of the springs from locking bolt to locking bolt must be 70
cm (28 inches). This results in maximum spring tension. Over time, the
spring adjustment can change gradually and needs to be corrected.
Check the spring length every year.
Adjust the length if it is shorter or longer than 70 cm (28 inches).
