Overview
This procedure requires the draw-rod nut and threads of the draw rod to be correctly lubricated. The draw rod
will not get the correct tension if the fasteners are not correctly lubricated, this can cause the bushing to fail.
If possible, ABB recommends that the draw rod is hydraulically tightened, refer to Hydraulic tightening of
the draw-rod nut, page 49.
Procedure
1. Make sure that the draw-rod nut, and threads of the draw rod are correctly lubricaded, and that the
draw-rod nut is tightened to 10 Nm.
