BOLT TORQUE
CHECKING BOLT TORQUE
The tables shown below give correct torque values for various bolts and capscrews.
Tighten all bolts to the torques specified in chart unless otherwise noted. Check
tightness of bolts periodically, using bolt torque chart as a guide. Replace hardware
with the same strength bolt.

heads unless otherwise specified. Therefore, do not grease or oil bolts or cap screws
unless otherwise specified in this manual. When using locking elements, increase
torque values by 5%.
