Torque
All bolts must be tightened with the torque specified in the following instructions. If no value
is specified, tighten with 7 Nm.
Checks
Visual check
Check the entire frame for cracks, especially in the vicinity of joints and weld seams (frame,
axle clamp components, back).
Check of the bolts
Check that all bolts have been tightened with the torque specified in the instructions.
j
Several bolts are secured with adhesive. If these are loosened, they have to be secured with
adhesive again. The most important bolts with adhesive are:
•
Central bolt on the cross (high-strength adhesive, 3 Nm)
•
Longitudinal stopping bolts on the seat edge (=bolts, which come to rest on either side of the
rear seat locking mechanisms when the seat is unfolded) (low-strength adhesive, 13 Nm)
