| Important: Use a reliable torque wrench in order to tighten the parts listed. A reliable torque wrench will ensure proper tightening of the parts without straining or distorting parts. The following specifications are for clean and lightly lubricated threads only. Dry or dirty threads produce increased friction. Friction prevents the measurement of tightness. |
