what is found on the truck.
This manual shows dimensioning of U.S. standard and metric (SI) units throughout. All references to right, left,
front, or rear are made with respect to the operator's normal seated position, unless specifically stated otherwise.
When assembly instructions are provided without references to torque values, standard torque values must be
used. Standard torque requirements are shown in the torque charts on the following pages of the next section and
in the General Information section of the truck shop manual. Individual torques, when provided in the text, are in
bold face type, such as 135 N·m (100 ft lbs). All torque specifications have ±10% tolerance, unless otherwise
specified.
