Due to the procedures and tools involved
in the disassembly and reassembly, the
main rotor assembly must be performed
by qualied individuals. Please consult the
factory if maintenance is required.

NOTES:
1) Torque values on this sheet are not to override those given on the individual drawings.
2) When using loctite, the torque value on this sheet are only accurate if bolts are tightened
immediately after loctite is applied.
* The proof strength of Grade 2 bolts is less for sizes 7/8 and above and therefore the torque
values are less than smaller sizes of the same grade.
