Bolt Service

Bolt service process verifies that the nuts and bolts are in good condition. The nut is loosened to Nut loosening min loosening angle (default value 10 degrees), and then tightened again.

The angle and torque in tightening direction will be displayed as positive values, while the angle and torque in loosening direction as negative values.

WARNING

Projectile Hazard

Always pre-tighten the bolt before starting the tensioning job! If the bolt engagement is lower than recommended, it can result in severe bodily injury or death and/or property damage.

This can happen during the rundown of the tensioner on the bolt, which can lead to the tensioner becoming a high-velocity projectile.

  • Always pre-tighten the bolt before starting the tensioning job so it does not move while running down the tensioner.

  1. On the Home view, go to Tasks > Bolt Service.

  2. Select a program to run by using the up and down buttons to navigate through the list and then the Enter button in the middle to confirm the choice.

    The name presented in the list is taken from the Name field under General Settings > Properties tab.

  3. When the message Position tool on bolt appears on the screen, rundown the tensioner straight on top of the bolt.

    Make sure that the socket is aligned with the nut.

  4. Press the Forward button on the keypad to start bolt service operation.
