Bolt and Nut Tightening
• Tighten alternating between left and right and top and bottom so that uniform tightening force is
applied.

• For bolts at critical locations, apply engine oil to the threads for a uniform tightening force without
catching on the thread peaks.
• For bolts and nuts at critical locations and at locations that cannot be inspected from the outside,
use wire, cotter pins, folded washers, or the like to securely prevent turning.

• If Loctite was used on a removed bolt (there is something white sticking to the thread section when
it is removed), clean the old Loctite off with cleaning fluid, dry the bolt, then apply 2 - 3 drops of Loc-
tite to the thread section of the bolt before tightening.

Bolt and nut retightening [after 1st 50 hr. for new machine] [every 250 hr.]
Tighten and retighten bolts and nuts in each section according to the table. Also before and after
day-to-day work, inspect for loose or fallen out bolts and nuts. Retighten any that are loose and
replace any that have come out.
Inspect and retighten after the first 50 hr. for a new machine and every 250 hr. after that.
