MAINTENANCE
BOLT TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS
Genesis typically uses dry torque measurements, but there are exceptions, such as piercing tip
bolts, which are lubricated.
Prior to using the chart below, clean all bolt holes, bolts and nuts to remove dirt, grease and oil.
See following Visual Reference charts or Parts Lists to identify bolt type.
Never retorque bolts that use Loctite. After initial use, when Loctite was applied and bolt was
torqued, if the bolt becomes loose or damaged, it must be replaced.
Never break tightened bolts loose with a torque wrench. Doing so may break the torque wrench
or take it out of calibration.
Torque wrenches should be calibrated on an annual basis.
When using a torque multiplier with a torque wrench, incorrect settings will be multiplied by the
ratio of the torque wrench.
Never use an air wrench on a torque multiplier.
