Luckily, the engine hadn''t overheated. Most of the steam was created from the coolant leaking on the exhaust manifold. The owner was fairly good-natured about his near catastrophe. Relieved, standing at the counter while paying his bill, he said lightheartedly, "You know, my pants and shirt were badly wrinkled when I left the house this morning.

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 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 Tool technicians on quality and working efficiency. A balance of quality and quantity will maximize the life expectancy of each assembly and the Acdessory 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: Tighten opposing screws, working your way around the locking Air device. This reduces misalignment and provides the best holding power.
