• For bolts on important areas, apply engine oil on the threaded portion so that tightening force is applied evenly without unnecessary engagement on the thread. • For bolts and nuts in the areas that it is difficult to check from outside or bolts and nuts in important areas, secure them using wires, cotter pins or folding washers.
• Clean bolts to which Loctite was applied (identified as bolts with white substances when removed) with light oil and trichlene, and dry them. After that, apply two or three drops of Loctite to the threaded portion of the bolts and fasten them.
