2.4 Tightening Hexagon Socket Head Bolts

Hexagon socket head cap bolts (hereinafter, "bolts") are used in places where mechanical
strength is required. These bolts are fastened with the tightening torque shown in the
following tables.
When it is required to refasten the bolts in some procedures in this manual (except special
cases as noted), use a torque wrench so that the bolts are fastened with appropriate tightening
torque as shown below.
