Stellar® Heavy-Duty Crane Owner’s Manual
When using the torque data in the chart,
the following rules should be observed:
1. Bolt manufacturer’s particular
specifications should be consulted when
provided.
2. Flat washers of equal strength must be
used.
3. All torque measurements are given in
foot-pounds. To convert to inch-pounds,
multiply by 12.
4. Torque values specified are for bolts with
residual oils or no special lubricants
applied. If special lubricants of high stress
ability, such as Never-Seez compound
graphite and oil, molybdenum disulphite,
colloidal copper or white lead are
applied, multiply the torque values in the
charts by the factor .90. The use of Loctite
does not affect the torque values listed
above.
5. Torque values for socket-head capscrews
are the same as for Grade 8 capscrews.

Anytime a gear-bearing bolt is removed, it must be replaced with a new bolt of the
identical grade and size. Once a bolt has been torqued to 75% of its proof load and then
removed, the torque coefficient may no longer be the same as when the bolt was new
thus giving indeterminate damp loads after torquing. Note: Always use Red Loctite
Threadlocker sealant to secure the new bolt.
