Assemble Screw Connection Joint

Screw assembly

The assembly procedure is done in reverse of the disassembly. However, a few things must be noted before assembly is begun.

• Remove old Loctite residue in the screw holes with a roll tap or forming tap (size 2 M4; the rest M3) for threads before assembling the joint to get the correct torque on the new screws.
• Always use new precoated screws when possible. If you must assemble with old screws, carefully clean the screws and add Loctite 243 to the screws before assembly.
• Always replace the flexible flat black ring with a new one to maintain the IP classification.
• Replace the wear rings if extensive wear or damage is shown.
