Torque for Metric Fasteners
NOTICE
Be very careful never to mix metric with U.S.
customary (standard) fasteners. Mismatched or
incorrect fasteners will cause lift truck damage or
malfunction and may even result in personal injury.
Original fasteners removed from the lift truck should
be saved for reassembly whenever possible. If new
fasteners are needed, they must be of the same
size and grade as the ones that are being replaced.
The material strength identification is usually shown
on the bolt head by numbers (8.8, 10.9, etc.). This
chart gives standard torques for bolts and nuts with
Grade 8.8.
NOTE: Metric hardware must be replaced with
metric hardware. Check parts book.
