Installation; Checking The Subframe Hardware - Quicke Q20 Technical Manual

INSTALLATION

Checking the subframe hardware

Check that all hardware are tightened to the specified
torque, first time after 10 hours of operation and then every
50 hours of operation. Please refer to the table below for
torque values.
Tightening torques - Hardware
Torque all the hardware on the subframe and all fasteners to
the values specified in the table below, except in the cases
where the tightening torque is specified in the assembly
instructions.
The torques specified below apply to clean, dry threads.
Lubricated threads can mean that the fastener is over
torqued. Damaged or dirty thread can cause torque values
which are too low.
A torque amplifier can be needed when tightening screws to
high torque values.
