1. Railway bolts in use must be of appropriate size and fastened in place.

2. Railway bolts must be installed together with AREMA spring washers, and nuts must be installed against the spring washers.

3. Railway bolts must be installed, and nuts must be installed alternately on the inside and outside of the rail.

4. When the railway bolt and joint bar are removed, the connection area of the rail and the contact surface of the joint bar must be cleaned, and the joint bar and bolt threads must be lubricated.
