(4) In some cases, fasteners could be seized over time. As an option, if want to avoid galling or seizing of thread, apply lubricant (grease or 40# engine oil) to fasteners prior to tightening. page of 55 Unit 1, 10 Duerdin St, Clayton VIC 3168, Australia Tel: +61 3 9239 8088 Fax: +61 3 9239 8024 E-mail: tech@clenergy.com.au www.clenergy.com.au...

Please refer to safe torques defined in this guide as shown in the figure below. If power tools are required, Clenergy recommends the use of low speed only. High speed and impact drivers increase the risk of bolt galling (deadlock). If deadlock occurs and you need to cut fasteners, please make sure that there is no load on the fastener before you cut it.
