REPLACING HARDWARE
This section is one section of a complete service
manual. Before starting any procedure, read all
warnings and instructions that are located in the
Service Guidelines chapter.
WARNING
Failure to follow the following guidelines may result in failure of the hardware resulting in severe bodily injury
or property damage:
• Many assemblies require specific torque settings for some hardware. Refer to the appropriate assembly
procedure for information regarding proper hardware torque.
• All hardware should be inspected for thread damage or corrosion prior to reassembly. If any evidence of
damage is found then the hardware should be replaced.
• Battery hardware should always be replaced when installing new batteries.
• Never reuse cotter pins or safety locking wire. Never use a wire, nail, or any other material to substitute
for a cotter pin.
• The locking force of a locknut is diminished when it is removed. Locknuts should be replaced whenever
removed.
• Some hardware may requires the use of a thread locking compound. Always thoroughly clean both male
and female threads when applying thread locking compounds.
