22. Bolts & Nuts.
1. General:
a. Most bolts used on Trimax machines except fling-tip blade bolts have metric threads
and are of grade 8.8. Bolt heads should have the maker's symbol and "88" embossed
on their heads.
b. Always replace with bolts of the same strength.
c. Fling-tip blade mounting bolts must be genuine Trimax parts.
d. Thread pitch is shown on the chart below. "M12x1.75" represents a 12mm diameter
bolt with a thread pitch of 1.75mm. Thread pitch is normally omitted so that an M12 bolt
that is 65mm long is known as an "M12 x 65 bolt".
2. Torque figures:
a. Torque figures indicated on the table are valid for non-greased or non-oiled threads.
b. Do not grease or oil bolts or cap screws unless otherwise specified in this manual.
c. Tighten all bolts to the torques specified below unless otherwise noted.
d. Check bolt tightness periodically.
