Important: Over-tightening hardware can cause just as much damage as under-tightening.
Tightening hardware beyond the recommended range can reduce its shock load capacity.
All hardware is either Grade 5 unless otherwise noted. Grade 5 cap screws are marked with
three radial lines on the head. Grade 8 cap screws are marked with six radial lines on the head.
If hardware must be replaced, be sure to replace it with hardware of equal size, strength and thread type.
Refer to the torque values chart when tightening hardware.
The chart below is a guide for proper torque. Use it unless a specified torque is called out elsewhere in
the manual. Torque is the force applied to the end of the handle or cheater bar, times the length of the
handle or bar. Tightening hardware beyond the recommended range can reduce its shock load capacity.
The following table shows torque in ft.-lbs. for coarse thread hardware.
