The above Torque settings are for lightly oiled threads. IMPORTANT! DO NOT USE for DRY
THREADS. ALL THREADS MUST BE LIGHTLY OILED, unless specified otherwise.
Where the nut material is softer than the bolt, this must be considered and a lower torque
figure calculated. (Contact: Technical Dept).
The above Torque settings are to be used when no other specific torque is quoted. ALWAYS
CHECK if a specific torque figure is available.
