a "Lubricated" means coated with a lubricant such as engine oil, or fasteners with phosphate and oil coatings.

b "Dry" means plain or zinc plated without any lubrication.

DO NOT use these values if a different torque value or tightening procedure is given for a specific application. Torque values listed are for general use only. Check tightness of fasteners periodically.

Make sure fastener threads are clean and that you properly start thread engagement. This will prevent them from failing when tightening.

   

Shear bolts are designed to fail under predetermined loads. Always replace shear bolts with identical property class.

Tighten plastic insert or crimped steel-type lock nuts to approximately 50 percent of the dry torque shown in the chart, applied to the nut, not to the bolt head. Tighten toothed or serrated-type lock nuts to the full torque value.

Fasteners should be replaced with the same or higher property class. If higher property class fasteners are used, these should only be tightened to the strength of the original.
