It is extremely important to keep all hardware tight:

• Use new bolts and nuts when installing new end bits and cutting edges to ensure against metal fatigue
• Surfaces must be clean of dirt, paint, scale, rust, and weld splatter
• Mating surfaces must be clean and flat to assure maximum clamping force
• Bolt and nut threads must be clean; do not apply lubricant to the hardware, as this may over-stretch the bolt
• Cutting-edge bolts are installed from the center outward or from one end to the other
• End-bit bolts are installed first from the center outward, then from the center inward
• Tighten all bolts to the required torque
• Seat bolt heads in the countersinks with a heavy hammer
• Tighten the bolts again to required torque
