Installing single-axle spring assembly with 
bolt attachment
1.

Check that all contact faces are free of dirt, 

grease and paint. Tighten the centre bolt and 

the spring clamp attachment bolts.

2.

If applicable, fit the wedge in the correct 

position.

3.

Install the spring assembly on the spring 

plate. This can only be done by two persons 

working together. Make sure that the centre 

bolt fits into the centring hole.

4.

When reusing the U-bolts, check for 

corrosion and damage. Replace them if 

necessary. If they are to be reused, 

thoroughly clean the thread and remove any 

paint.

If hexagonal U-bolt nuts are used, fit a 

hardened steel ring under the U-bolt nut.

5.

Fit the U-bolts and hand-tighten the U-bolt 

nuts.

6.

Lower the chassis or raise the axle such that 

the attachment bolts (2) can be installed. If 

necessary, push the sliding bush (3) back a 

bit. Fit the attachment bolts (2) and hand-

tighten these.

7.

Lower the chassis. Tighten the U-bolt nuts 

evenly to the specified tightening torque, see 

"Technical data".

8.

Apply grease to the threaded ends of the 

U-bolts.
