I'm not up on the newer units. You might want to look and see if any of the U bolts are double nutted or are at least lock nuts. If not, go to the hardware store and find some nuts to add to the U bolts if there is enough threaded material for them to fit. By double nutting them you are "locking" them in place so they can't back off. That is a more secure method than relying on lock washers if there are lock washers on them.
