Hardware Torque Values - Metric

Hardware Torque Values

Check the tightness of hardware periodically..

Use the following charts to determine the correct torque when checking, adjusting or replacing hardware on the tractor..

IMPORTANT: DO NOT use the values listed in the charts if a different torque value or tightening procedure is specified in this manual for a specific application. Torque values listed are for general use only.

Minimum hardware tightening torques

In foot pounds (newton-meters) for normal assembly applications..

Metric hardware and locknuts

Make sure fastener threads are clean and not damaged

NOTE: A torque wrench is necessary to properly tighten hardware..
