MAINTENANCE
STORAGE
If machine is to be left standing for an extended period of time, lightly coat the exposed portions of the ram rods
with grease. Subsequently, this grease which becomes contaminated with dust and grit should be wiped off
before the rams are next moved.
If the machine has to be stored outside, tie a piece of tarpaulin or canvas over the control assembly. Do not use
a plastic fertilizer bag which could lead to rapid corrosion.
PROPER TORQUE VALUES FOR FASTENERS
The chart lists the correct tightening torque for fasteners. When bolts are to be tightened or replaced, refer to
this chart to determine the grade of bolts and the proper torque except when specific torque values are
assigned in manual text.
RECOMMENDED TORQUE IN FOOT POUNDS UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED IN THE MANUAL*
NOTE: These values apply to fasteners as received from supplier, dry or when lubricated with normal engine
oil. They do not apply if special graphitized or molydisulphide greases or other extreme pressure lubricants are
used. This applies to both UNF fine and UNC coarse threads.
