Table 1 Static inspection torque     Sales model     Bolt size     Torque value     VT-60     M20 x 2.5    
460 N·m (340 lb ft)    Note: Rotate the work tool in order to access all rotator head bolts on the inner ring.
Note: The rotator head bolt (4) on the inner ring should not move before a torque that is specified in Table 1 is reached. If the rotator head bolt (4) moves, then the sealant has been broken and the rotator head bolt has been overstressed. All rotator head bolts (4) on the inner ring and the washers on the inner ring must then be replaced.
ReferenceContact your Verachtert dealer for replacement of the rotator head bolts.
