21.2 TORQUE LIST
Unless otherwise specified, tighten the metric bolts and nuts to the torque
shown in the table.
The torque value is determined by the width across the flats (b)of the nut
and bolt.
If it is necessary to replace any nut or bolt, always use a genuine Komatsu
part of the same size as the part that was replaced.

NOTICE
When tightening panels or other parts having tightening fixtures made of plastic, be
careful not to use excessive tightening torque: doing so will damage the plastic parts.
