Mounting for Angularly Applied Loads
Installation
Before mounting the swivel, apply Molykote ® G grease, or equivalent, to the
threads and under the head of each mounting bolt. Tighten each bolt until it is
firmly seated against the swivel. Then, using the pattern shown in the following
figure, tighten the bolts to one-half of the recommended torque value. Continue
using this pattern to tighten the bolts to their final torque value.

Mounting for Angularly Applied Loads
If the swivel mounting surface is not perpendicular to the direction of applied
force, it might be necessary to install retaining stops to prevent the swivel from
slipping. Slippage can be expected if the operating forces for the angle of load
application are exceeded.
The following figure shows the position of the retaining stops and the angle of
load application.
