BOLT TORQUE
Important: Over tightening hardware can cause as much damage as under tightening.
Tightening hardware beyond the recommended range can reduce it shock load
capacity.
All hardware used on the 8500 Series Head Cart is Grade 5 unless otherwise specified.
If hardware must be replaced, be sure to replace it with hardware of equal size,
strength, and thread type.
The chart below is a guide for proper torque. Use it unless a specified torque
value is given elsewhere in the manual.
Torque is the force you apply to the wrench handle times the length of the handle.
Use a torque wrench wherever possible
The following table shows torque in ft-lbs for coarse thread hardware.
