Assembly of clamps
Before assembly, make sure that the clamps are
cleaned and that bolts and nuts are greased.
The bolts should be tightened gradually and evenly
to the correct torque level. After the first loading the
bolts should be re-tightened. We recommend that
the user will tighten the bolts again after some few
weeks of use. (a few days to 3 weeks depending on
the amount of use)
Place the clamps like this:

Min. clamps for max work load.
