Pre-assembling position

The fastening system W 14 allows the choice of following
screw dowel assemblies
:: Sleeper screw Ss 25/plastic dowel Sd 9 or
:: Sleeper screw Ss 35/plastic dowel Sd 25 or
:: S leeper screw Ss 25 or Ss 35 with the new SCHWIHAG
plastic dowel Sd S3.
Assembling advice after rail positioning:
1. Sleeper screw loosen: app. turning round
2. Tension clamp pushing. Tension clamp arms positioned on rail foot
3. F ixing of the fastening system with app. 200 Nm to 250 Nm
until the medium loop of the tension clamp lies on the contact
surface of the angle guide plate.
