YOU WILL NEED THE FOLLOWING ITEMS
Requires one pair of Nord-Lock washers.
All our washers are laser marked (Nord-Lock brand name, control number, type code). This is to ensure you receive genuine Nord-Lock washers and enables full traceability down to the first assembly.
PREPARATION
Nord-Lock washers always come in pairs. If your washer is accidentally separated make sure the washers are mounted cam facing cam.
Discard damaged bolts.
Do you have a tight fit between the bolt and the hole? Use the standard washer.
When to ask for support
If you have any challenges or any of these cases below:
• The mating surface is not locked in place.
• Soft surfaces with large settlements.
• Joints that are not designed to be tightened.
• The mating surfaces are harder than the washers such as hardened bearings.
Support is available at bolting@nord-lock.com
FINAL CHECK
Never use a plain/flat washer with Nord-Lock washers. If you need a larger diameter washer, use the Nord-Lock SP washer.
Never divide the washers and only use one of the washers.
Correct installation.
