HARDWARE
Periodically, the vehicle should be inspected for loose
fasteners. Fasteners should be tightened in accordance
with the Torque Specifications table (Ref. Fig. 22).
Use care when tightening fasteners and refer to the
Technician’s Repair and Service Manual for specific
torque values.
Generally, three grades of hardware are used in the ve-
hicle. Grade 5 hardware can be identified by the three
marks on the hexagonal head and grade 8 hardware is
identified by 6 marks on the head. Unmarked hardware
is Grade 2 (Ref. Fig. 22).

To reduce the possibility of severe injury or
death from improper servicing techniques:
DO NOT attempt any type of servicing
operations before reading and understand-
ing all notes, cautions and warnings in this
manual.
Any servicing requiring adjustments to be
made to the powertrain while the motor is
running must be made with both drive
wheels raised and vehicle properly support-
ed on jack stands.
To reduce the possibility of motor damage,
never operate vehicle at full throttle for
more than 4 - 5 seconds while vehicle is in
a ‘no load’ condition.
Wear eye protection when
working on the vehicle.
Use extra care when
working around batteries,
or using solvents or com-
pressed air.
To reduce the possibility of causing an
electrical arc, which could result in a battery
explosion, turn off all electrical loads from
the battery before removing battery wires.
Wrap wrenches with vinyl
tape to reduce the possibil-
ity of a dropped wrench
‘shorting out’ a battery,
which could result in an
explosion.
Reduce the possibility of accidental starting
by removing and grounding spark plug
wires and disconnecting battery at negative
terminal before servicing.
The electrolyte in a battery is an acid solu-
tion which can cause severe burns to the

Unless otherwise noted in text, tighten all hardware in accordance with this chart.
This chart specifies 'lubricated' torque figures. Fasteners that are plated or lubricated when
installed are considered 'wet' and require approximately 80% of the torque required for 'dry' fasteners.
