8.1 Torque Specifications
The f ollo wing tables prov ide the correct torque valu es for various bolts, cap screws, and hydraulic fitting s .
• Tighten all bolts to the torque values specified in the charts (unless otherwise noted throughout this manual).
• Replace hardware with the same strength and grade of bolt.
• Use the 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.
