Tighten all bolts to torques specified in chart unless otherwise noted. Check tightness of bolts
periodically, using bolt chart as guide. Replace hardware with same grade bolt.
NOTE: Unless otherwise specified, high-strength Grade 5 hex bolts are used throughout assembly
of equipment.

Torque figures indicated are valid for
non-greased or non-oiled threads and
heads unless otherwise specified.
Therefore, do not grease or oil bolts or
capscrews unless otherwise specified
in this manual. When using locking
elements, increase torque values
by 5%.
* GRADE or CLASS value for bolts
and capscrews are identified by their
head markings.
