LUBRICATION
Do not use more than three (3) pumps of grease in any grease fitting at any one time. Excess grease may cause
grease seals to fail or grease migration into areas that could damage components.
Putting more than three pumps of grease in a grease fitting could damage grease seals and cause premature bear-
ing failure.
Hardware
Periodically, the vehicle should be inspected for loose fasteners. Fasteners should be tightened in accordance with
the Torque Specifications table.
Use care when tightening fasteners and refer to the Technician’s Repair and Service Manual for specific torque val-
ues.

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.
