【3】Installation inspection
The short ears are tightly attached to the plane of the nut, preventing the nut from rotating.
The long ears are firmly fixed and the Black Steel Tab Washers With Long Tab and Wing cannot rotate relative to the workpiece.
Both ear pieces have no cracks and no excessive bending or damage.
【4】Notes for Attention
(1)Single-use: After installation, the ear pieces are permanently bent. When removing, they must be straightened by hammering or cut. The Black Steel Tab Washers With Long Tab and Wing cannot be reused.
(2)Do not over-bend: Repeated bending or excessive bending angles may cause the root of the ear piece to break, losing its locking function.
(3)Don't get it wrong: the short ears should always point upwards, and the long ears should point downwards.
