Installing The Articulated Arm To The Motor Drive Shaft - Proteco SIMPLY Installation Manual

Stand M12 bolt on its head.
Repeat assembly process for second arm, making sure that the lock nuts are fastened in place on every join.
The lock nuts have a nylon coating on the inside of the nut thread enabling the bolt to grip firmly. Due to the
nature of the automation, torque forces would shake normal nuts loose. Lock nut, sometimes referred to as
"Nylock", stops the nut from shaking loose from the bolt.
