Tensioner Arrangement – 100% Configuration

All bolts simultaneously tensioned.

Commonly, due to space restrictions, it will not be possible to fit tensioners to every bolt from the same side of the bolted joint. It is normal practice to stagger the tensioners over both sides of the bolted joint.

Every other bolt consists of adequate bolt protrusion.

It is normal practice to fit the bolts so adequate thread protrudes from the side of the joint that the tensioner will be fitted.

WARNING

Projectile Hazard

Never pressurize an unconnected male coupler. Male couplers are not designed to withstand high pressure, in the unconnected mode. Pressurizing an unconnected male coupler can lead to serious bodily injury or death.

  • If you are left with an unconnected male connection, check the hydraulic hose assembly and correct the error.
