Mark/B-LOC: For most applications, installation according to the manufacturer''s instructions is all that is needed for a permanent, fully adjustable, and removable backlash-free connection. For keyless locking device connections polishers in extreme operating environments, use packing grease and inexpensive cover plates to keep out dirt, moisture, and other corrosive elements.Andrew/Whittet-Higgins: Continually educate technicians on quality and working efficiency. A balance of quality and quantity will maximize the life expectancy of each assembly and the enterprise as a whole.Blair/Ruland: When servicing equipment, inspect the locking device for any signs of slipping and tighten the clamping screws to the recommended seating torque when necessary.When replacing a locking device, end users should follow the proper bolt-tightening pattern. Tighten the same way you would mount the wheels on a car: air Tighten opposing polishers screws, working your way around the locking device. This reduces misalignment and provides the best holding power.

Jeff/KTR: Prevent rust and make air sure fasteners are tightened to the specified torques after a minimum operation time. Replace the device if polishers it starts to slip. Reconfirm the selection, and be sure to check the dimensions and surface finish of the bore and shafts.Doug/Zero-Max: Keep the connection screws properly torqued for maximum holding forces, and use a connection with a minimum number of adjusting screws.Jim/Stafford: Replace socket screws when sockets become worn. Don''t use wrenches with rounded corners. Don''t use a screwdriver to spread collars, or a hammer to move them along a shaft.Keith/U.S. Tsubaki: Higher quality locking devices are practically maintenance-free. There is no need to periodically retighten locking bolts or replace the unit, even in high-vibration applications. End users can extend service life even longer by keeping exposed surfaces clean and corrosion free.
