Torque Specifications

NOTE:

Refer to the appropriate portion of the manual for the precautions and complete procedures.
Refer to the appropriate portion of the manual for the bolts/nuts not indicated here.
- -
  1: Parts to be tightened in a particular order.
- -
  2: Follow the appropriate manual procedures closely for torque, sequence, and special steps.
Power tools must be used appropriately.
- -
  Follow instructions and precautions carefully per the tool's manufacturer.
- -
  Do not use power tools for tightening. Only use them during removals of fasteners.
When using some special tools or crowfoot-type wrenches, the torque value changes due to the added leverage. The actual torque applied will be greater than the torque reading shown.
- -
  The torque specification given is the actual torque, not the reading on the torque wrench.
- -
  To compensate for this additional leverage, use the formula below to calculate the torque value reading on the torque wrench.
- -
  Always use the special tool or crowfoot-type wrench in a straight line with the torque wrench, or you will apply improper torque.
