FASTENERS
Proper fastener selection and installation is important to ensure the motorcycle operates as
designed and can be serviced efficiently. The choice of original equipment fasteners is not arrived at
by chance. Make sure replacement fasteners meet all the same requirements as the originals
Many screws. Bolts and studs are combined with nuts to secure particular components. to indicate
the size of a nut. Manufactures specify the internal diameter and the thread pitch
The measurement across two flats on a nut or bolt indicates the wrench size
WARNING
Do not install fasteners with a strength
classification lower than what was originally
installed by the manufacturer doing so may cause
equipment failure and or damage
Torque Specifications
The material used in the manufacturing of the UTV may be subjected to uneven stresses if the
fasteners of the various subassemblies are not installed and tightened correctly. Fasteners that are
improperly installed or work loose can cause extensive damage. it is essential to use an accurate
torque wrench as described in this chapter
Self-Locking Fasteners
Several types of bolts. Screws and nuts incorporate a system that creates interference between
the two fasteners. Interference is achieved in various ways. The most common types are the nylon
insert nut and a dry adhesive coating on the threads of a blot.
Self-locking fasteners offer greater holding strength than standard fasteners, which improves their
resistance to vibration. All self-locking fasteners cannot be reused. The materials used to from the lock
become distorted after the initial installation and removal. Discard and replace self-locking fasteners
after removing them. Do not replace self-locking fasteners with standard fasteners.
Washers
The two basic types of washers are flat washers and lock washers. Flat washers are simple discs
with a hole to fit a screw or bolt. Lock washers are used to prevent a fastener from working loose.
Washers can be used as spacers and seals. Or can help distribute fastener load and prevent the
fastener from damaging the component
As with fasteners. When replacing washers make sure the replacement washers are of the same
design and quality
