9.11 Bolt Torque Requirements
It is extremely important to apply and maintain proper
torque on all bolts. Use a torque wrench to assure
the proper amount of torque is being applied to the
fastener.
Start all bolts or nuts by hand to prevent cross
threading.
Torque figures indicated in the chart are used for
non-greased or non-oiled threads 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%.
The chart gives correct torque values for various
bolts and cap screws. Tighten all bolts to the torque
specified in the chart unless otherwise noted. Check
tightness of bolts periodically, using the bolt torque
chart as a guide. Always replace hardware with the
same Grade bolt.

WARNING
OEM
EQUIPMENT FAILURE
The torque value for bolts and cap screws are
identified by their head markings. Replacing
higher “Grade” bolts (Grade 5) with lower Grade
bolts will lead to equipment failure and can result in
injury or death. Always use replacement bolts with
the same Grade markings as the removed bolt.
