LOCKWIRE (Cont).
e.
Lockwire parts so that tension will be on lockwire when parts tend to loosen. Lockwire should be installed
and twisted tightly so that loop around head stays down and does not come up over head of screw or bolt. This does not
apply to castellated nuts when slot is close to top of nuts; wire Is more secure when made to pass along the side of stud.
Ensure that lockwire is tight but not overstressed.
f.
Make pigtail of ,-X in. (6.4-12.7 mm) at end of lockwire. Bend pigtail down so it will not become a snag.
g.
When lockwiring castellated nuts, tighten nut to low side of torque range, then continue tightening until slot
lines up with hole.
h.
In blind tapped hole application of bolts or castellated nuts or studs, lockwire as shown.
