8.1 Torque Speci
fi
cations
The following tables provide correct torque values for various bolts, cap screws, and hydraulic
fi
ttings.
• Tighten all bolts to torque values speci
fi
ed in charts (unless otherwise noted throughout this manual).
• Replace hardware with same strength and grade of bolt.
• Use torque value tables as a guide and periodically check tightness of bolts.
• Understand torque categories for bolts and cap screws by using their identifying head markings.
Jam Nuts
When applying torque to
fi
nished jam nuts, multiply the torque applied to regular nuts by f=0.65.
Self-Tapping Screws
Standard torque is to be used (not to be used on critical or structurally important joints).
8.1.1 SAE Bolt Torque Speci
fi
cations
Torque values shown in following tables are valid for non-greased, or non-oiled threads and heads; therefore, do
NOT
grease or oil bolts or cap screws unless otherwise speci
fi
ed in this manual.
