Tightening torques

See the recommended torque for tightening the bolts in Tightening torques for bolts grade 8.8 (EN ISO 898-1). All bolts used are grade 8.8 according to EN ISO 898-1. Do not use other type of bolts. For motors and related components, follow the torques given in the separate motor manual. Use max 50 Nm torque for the bolts fastening the impeller to the motor shaft.
