Page 9: Loosening Procedure
3. LOOSENING PROCEDURE ATTENTION Loosening requires an exact procedure. The jackbolts must be unloaded stepwise! Under no circumstances should single jackbolts be unloaded completely. The remaining jackbolts would have to carry the entire load and, therefore, would be difficult to loosen. In extreme cases the jackbolts could mushroom and make loosening impossible! 3.1 Usage at normal temperatures (<100°C or 212°F) PREPARATION... -
Page 10: Usage At High Temperatures (>100°C Or 212°F)
3.2 Usage at high temperatures (>100°C or 212°F) PREPARATION At higher temperatures, the petroleum base of the lubricant evaporates, thereby increasing the effort for loosening. Therefore strict adherence to these steps is essential for success. As always, be sure to follow the lubricant manufacturer’s safety instructions. -
