Handling Instructions

Tightening torques
Standard tightening torques
Bolts and screws
Unless otherwise instructed, tighten bolts or nuts by the specified torque using an appropriate tool.
Excessive tightening of a screw may cause it to become loose or damaged. The appropriate
tightening torque depends on factors such as the type of screw, its strength, and the friction of its
thread and bearing surface.

Handling Instructions
The following list is for galvanized and parkerized bolts only. The values given in this list do not apply
to low-strength female screws.
Do not use a screw that has rusted or has foreign matter such as sand on it. Such a screw cannot be
fully tightened even if it is tightened by the specified torque. The friction on the thread surface
increases, causing a loss of torque that results in an insufficient tightening torque being exerted. If a
screw is wet or oily, do not tighten it by the specified torque. If a screw gets wet, the torque coefficient
decreases, resulting in excessive tightening of the screw if it is tightened by the specified torque.
Excessive tightening of a screw may cause it to elongate, resulting in the screw becoming loose or
damaged. Do not use a screw that has already been subjected to a large load.
Tightening a bolt with an impact wrench requires skill. Practice tightening bolts to ensure you are able
to tighten them reliably.

Warning 1

When replacing a tire or beginning any other

maintenance or repairs, be sure to chock the
wheels to prevent the machine from moving.
Before jacking up the machine, park it on a
hard, flat surface such as a concrete floor and
remove any obstacles that could prevent you
from performing the work safely. When
necessary, use an appropriate chain block,
hoist, or jack. Support the machine securely
with jack stands or appropriate blocks. Failure
to do so may cause the machine to move or
fall, resulting in injury or death.

Use the jack-up points identified in this manual

when jacking up the machine.
Only place a jack under the jack-up points 3

specified. Placing a jack at any other point could
result in damage to the frame or other parts. rwyt62-007
