GENERAL / Tightening Torque TORQUE CHART CAUTION: Use tools appropriate for the work to be done. Makeshift tools and proce- dures can create safety hazards. For loosen- ing and tightening nuts and bolts, use cor- rect size tools. Otherwise, tightening tools may slip, potentially causing personal injury. Bolt Types Tighten nuts or bolts correctly to torque specifications. Four different types and grades of bolt are employed. Make sure to employ correct bolts and tighten them correctly when assembling the machine or compo- nents.
