Maintenance & Safety Checks
Mounting Bolts
To compensate for possible settling, it is necessary to retighten the bolts to the prescribed torque .This shall be
done after no more than 100 hours of operation and without external load applied to the bolt connection. This
inspection shall be repeated annually.
The inspection frequency may be reduced under special operating conditions. In case of loose bolts, replace all
bolts and washers with new ones.
KMI does not supply or warranty any fasteners for attaching the slew drive to the customer's equipment. The
few large diameter cap screws shipped in the new slewing drives are for shipping purposes only. These are
very low grade fasteners and should never be reused in the final installation of the slew drive.
