Torque Settings

Introduction - Zinc Plated Fasteners and Dacromet Fasteners

Some external fasteners on Fastrac machines are assembled using an improved type of corrosion resistant finish. This type of

finish is called Dacromet and replaces the original Zinc and Yellow plating used on earlier machines.

The two types of fasteners can be readily identified by colour and part number suffix as follows:

Fastener Type Colour Part Number

Zinc and Yellow Golden finish ‘Z’ (e.g. 1315/3712Z)

Dacromet Mottled silver finish ‘D’ (e.g. 1315/3712D)

Note: As the Dacromet fasteners have a lower torque setting than the Zinc and Yellow fasteners, the torque figures used must

be relevant to the type of fasteners.

Note: A Dacromet bolt should not be used in conjunction with a Zinc and Yellow plated nut, as this could change the torque

characteristics of the torque settings further. For the same reason, a Dacromet nut should not be used in conjunction with a

Zinc and Yellow plated bolt.

Note: All bolts used on JCB machines are high tensile and must not be replaced by bolts of a lesser tensile specification.

Note: Dacromet bolts, due to their high corrosion resistance are used areas where rust could occur. Dacromet bolts are only

used for external applications. They are not used in application such as gearbox and engine joint seams or internal

applications.
