Torques must be taken into account when tightening the screw connections. For this reason, a torque key with a corresponding settings zone is required. If you are not experienced in using torque keys or if you do not own a suitabletorque key, have the screw connections checked by a Carqon dealer. The correct torque of a screw connection depends on the material and the diameter of the screw as well as the material and the construction of the components.
