BOLT TORQUE

Mounting bolts and hardware
All hardware used on the 5000 Devastator is Grade 5 unless otherwise noted. Grade 5
cap screws are marked with three radial lines on the head. If hardware must be replaced,
be sure to replace it with hardware of equal size, strength and thread type. Refer to the
torque values chart when tightening hardware.







Important: Over tightening hardware can cause as much damage as when
under tightening. Tightening hardware beyond the recommended range can
reduce its shock load capacity.

The chart below is a guide for proper torque. Use it unless a specified torque is called out
elsewhere in the manual.
Torque is the force you apply to the wrench handle or the cheater bar, times the length of the
handle or bar.
Use a torque wrench whenever possible.



The following table shows torque in ft. lbs. for coarse thread hardware.
