The Replacement Manual

I saw this the other day, though myself and a few others don't feel it is as clear as it could be. Is the fault with the end user checking annually or with the manufacturer not doing proper batch testing?

 

I've not replaced/removed mine since they were new, and they were torqued as per instructions on fitting. Mine are standard connecto's fitted to a different harness, colleagues have the same, as well as a treecore harness.

 

During the course of extensive checking of the bolts on the hardware products “Conecto”, “Conecto Small” and “Conecto Swivel” by EDELRID, it was ascertained that:

 

 

 

many of the bolts were not inspected yearly,

 

some of the bolts were damaged (the only way to detect if the bolt is damaged is by checking the torque),

 

some of the bolts had been replaced by users with bolts that did not have the required strength class.

Agreed Dan, not a very clear warning.

Bump. Can anyone shed any light on this?
