HSTS header creates a ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS error

I've added this HSTS header to the domain example.me:
Header always set Strict-Transport-Security: max-age=31536000; includeSubDomains; preload
(my .htaccess file contains nothing more) But when I try to go to example.me in Chrome I get this error message: ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS In the Apache error log I get this: Too many arguments to directive I've searched for the correct way of adding a HSTS header if I want to be able to use preload (hstspreload.appspot.com/) and from what I can find my HSTS header is correct. Anyone know what the problem is?

  Hello :) Are there any additional .htaccess files in the account's home directory (above the public_html directory) that could contain additional redirects? Thank you.

  I found the problem, this is how it should look: Header always set Strict-Transport-Security: "max-age=31536000; includeSubdomains; preload"
