Introduction
Important: Check torque on all
hardware periodically. Check after
first 2, 10, 40, then every 200 hours.
• Torque values listed are for general
use only. If a different torque value
or tightening procedure is specified for a specific
application, do not use these values.
• Refer to the “Parts” section for proper grade and
length of bolts for replacement parts.
• Do not replace locknuts with nuts and lock washers.
Replace all parts with original, specified parts only.
• Dry values shown mean the bolt/nut is plain or zinc
plated without any lubrication.
