PROPER TORQUE FOR FASTENERS
Because of the severe operating conditions, correct bolt torque is very important. An improperly torqued bolt
can be easily shaken loose or broken by the vibrations. When replacing bolts, always use the same grade of
bolt as used originally. Use this chart as a guide to tightening all bolts. Torque values listed are for general use
only.
