STANDARD TIGHTENING TORQUE FOR BOLTS AND
NUTS
Tightening torque list
CAUTION
If nuts, bolts, or other parts are not tightened to the specified torque, it will cause looseness or damage
to the tightened parts, and this will cause failure of the machine or problems with operation. Always be
careful when tightening parts.
Unless otherwise specified, tighten the metric nuts and bolts to
the torque shown in the table below.
If it is necessary to replace any nut or bolt, Komatsu recom-
mends using Komatsu genuine part of the same size as the
part that is removed.
