General Information
Mismatched or incorrect fasteners can result in
damage or malfunction, or personal injury.
Take care to avoid mixing metric dimensioned fasteners
and inch dimensioned fasteners.
Introduction to Torque
"Torque" is measured in terms of force and distance.
Force is the amount of pushing or pulling applied at the
end of the lever. Distance is the length of the lever that
is being used. Torque values are given in the following
units: NEWTON meters (Nm), pound inches (lb in), and
pound feet (lb ft)
This manual is intended to provide the operator with a
reference. This manual will provide the standard torque
settings for the following: bolts, nuts, plugs, fittings, and
clamps.
Exceptions to these torques are given in the Service
Manual, if necessary.
Be sure to use a torque wrench that has the proper
range. Torque wrenches must be used properly in
order to ensure that the correct torque is applied.
Always use a smooth pull for torque wrenches. Do not
jerk a torque wrench. Do not use adapters that change
the length of the torque wrench. For the correct use of
your torque wrench, refer to the instructions that were
packaged with your torque wrench.
Prior to installation of any hardware, ensure that
components are in near new condition. Bolts and
threads must not be worn or damaged. Threads must
not have burrs or nicks. Hardware must be free of rust
and corrosion. Clean reused fasteners with a
noncorrosive cleaner. Lightly lubricate the threads of
reused fasteners. Lightly lubricate the mating surface of
the head of reused fasteners. Other applications for
lubricating fasteners may also be specified in the
Service Manual. The Service Manual may also specify
the use of sealants and compounds.
Note: Do not use sealants that are not specified in
the Service Manual. Do not use compounds that
are not specified in the Service Manual. Clean old
compound from the bolt and from the hole before
installation.
Torque-Turn
The torque-turn method is used when precise control
over clamping force is required. There is an initial
torque and an additional turn. The initial torque is
required to bring all parts of the joint into contact. The
additional turn provides the desired clamping force.
Ensure that all fasteners have been torqued before you
perform the additional turns. Turn the fastener
according to the specified amount. The specified
amount will normally be equal to or greater than 90°.
The specified amount will normally be in 30°
increments. Turns of 120° or 180° are preferred. Turns
of 120° or 180° are easily measured by the points of
the hex head of the fastener. Lubrication may be
specified in order to reduce the effort that is required for
the final turn. The use of the torque-turn method will
allow the following:
• Increase the life of the fastener.
• Maximize the potential clamping force of a fastener.
Typical applications are the following:
• Track bolts
• Sprocket bolts
• Connecting rod bolts
• Engine Cylinder Heads
• Drive Shaft bolts
Note: Too much tension on the bolt will cause the bolt to
be stretched beyond the point of yield. The bolt will be
permanently stretched. The bolt will loosen the grip on
the parts that are being fastened. If the bolt is
tightened again, the bolt will break. Do not reuse bolts
that have been permanently stretched.
Torque Sequence
Unless the bolt tightening sequence is specified by the
Service Manual, the fasteners should be tightened in a
cross pattern. Use Step 1 through Step 5 unless the
tightening sequence is specified:
1. Hand tighten all fasteners. Larger fasteners may
require the use of a small hand wrench.
2. Torque all fasteners to 40% of full torque.
3. Torque all fasteners to 70% of full torque.
4. Torque all fasteners to full torque by using a cross
pattern. Large flanges may require additional
passes.
5. Apply at least one final full torque to all fasteners
in a clockwise direction until all torque is uniform.
Large flanges may require additional passes.
Note: Final torque may be a turn.

Personal injury can result when installing plow bolts.
The appropriate safety equipment must be worn when
striking the plow bolts. To avoid injury to your eyes and
ears, wear protective glasses and hearing protection
during this procedure.
Illustration 7 g00909058
Plow bolts must be installed properly. Refer to the
following procedure for the correct installation of plow
bolts.
1. Clean all surfaces that contact the bolt. Remove
all occurrences of the following conditions:rust,
paint, nicks, and burrs
2. Tighten the nut to the correct torque. Refer to
Table 9 for the correct torque.
3. Use a hammer to strike the head of the bolt. The
bolt must be struck with significant force.
Note: The head of the bolt may be recessed below the
mounting surface. Use a suitable punch in order to
transfer the hammer blow to the bolt head.
4. Tighten the nut to the correct torque. Refer to
Table 9 for the correct torque.
Installation of Fittings
Note: The tightening sequence of the fasteners that
attach a tube assembly or hose assembly to the
machine is very critical to the proper function of the
machine. The sealing surfaces of the tube assembly or
hose assembly should be secured squarely. The
sealing surfaces of the tube assembly or hose assembly
should be tightened to the serviced component (control
valve, cylinder, hydraulic motor, etc). Perform this
procedure prior to the final tightening of any clamps or
clips that are used in order to fasten the tube
assembly or the hose assembly to the machine.
Fittings have different connections. Fittings may have
two completely different ends. Be sure to use the
proper torque for the end of the fitting that is used. The
following list contains some common types of fittings.
• Straight Thread O-Ring (STOR)
• Adjustable Straight Thread O-Ring (STOR)
• O-Ring Face Seal (ORFS)
• Tapered Pipe Thread (NPT and NPTF)
• 37 Degree Flare Fitting
• 45 Degree Flare Fitting
• 45 Degree Inverted Flare Fitting
• Split Flange Coupling
Installation of Split Flange
Couplings
1. For a metal tube to hose installation, install the
tube and tighten all bolts finger tight at the rigid
end.
2. Install the hose and tighten all bolts finger tight.
3. Put the hose in a position so that the hose does
not make contact with the machine or with another
hose.
Illustration 8 g00906528
4. Tighten the bolts on both connections to the
proper torque. Follow the prescribed torque
sequence for split flange connections. Refer to
Illustration 8. Add the measurement of gap (A) to
the measurement of gap (B). The total must not
exceed 4.0 mm (0.16 inch).
5. Start the engine.
6. Move the implement control levers to all of the
positions.
7. Look at the hose during movement of the
implement. Ensure that the hose is not in contact
with the machine or with other hoses.
Note: For hoses that cross an articulation hitch, check
for contact during articulation. For hoses that connect to
the steering system, check for contact during steering.
8. Shut off the engine.
9. If the hose contacts other hoses or the machine
during the test, loosen the bolts and reposition
the hose. Repeat steps 3 through 8 until there is
no contact.
