When a specific torque value is required, the value

is listed in the SPECIFICATION section of the

S e r v i c e Manual. Tighten all other bolts and nuts

for general usage, hydraulic valve bodies, or

t a p e r l o c k studs to the torque values given in the

charts.

g. Locks.

(1) Flat metal locks must be installed properly

(fig. 2-5) to be effective. Bend one end of the lock

a r o u n d the edge of the part. Bend the other end

against one flat-surface of the nut or bolt head.

( 2 ) Always install new locks in compartment

which house moving parts.

( 3 ) When installing lockwashers on housings
