MAINTENANCE STANDARD TIGHTENING TORQUES FOR BOLTS AND NUTS
4-13
STANDARD TIGHTENING TORQUES FOR BOLTS AND
NUTS 0.
TORQUE LIST 0.
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 pay careful attention when tightening parts.
Unless otherwise specified, tighten the metric nuts and bolts to the torque shown in the table below.
The tightening torque is determined by the width across the flats of the nut and bolt.
If it is necessary to replace any nut or bolt, always use a Komatsu genuine part of the same size as the part that
was replaced.
Apply the following table for Hydraulic Hose.
