CATERPILLAR’ ors Se Specifications Torque Specifications for All Caterpillar Products ovesens Important Safety Information Most accidents that involve product operation, maintenance and repair are caused by failure to observe basic safety rules or precautions. An accident can often be avoided by recognizing potentially hazardous situations before an accident occurs. A person must be alert to potential hazards. This person should also have the necessary training, skills and tools to perform these functions properly. Improper operation, lubrication, maintenance or repair of this product can be dangerous and ‘could result in injury or death. Do not operate or perform any lubrication, maintenance or repair on this product, until you have read and understood the operation, lubrication, maintenance and repair information. ‘Safety precautions and wamings are provided in this manual and on the product. If these hazard warnings are not heeded, bodily injury or death could occur to you or to other persons. ‘The hazards are identified by the "Safety Alert Symbol" and followed hy a "Signal Word” such as “DANGER’, "WARNING" or “CAUTION’. The Safety Alort ‘WARNING’ label is shown below. ‘The meaning ot ths safety alert symbol is as follows: Attention! Become Alert! Your Safety is Involved. ‘The message that appears under the waming explains the hazard and can be either written or pictorially presented Operations that may cause product damage are identified by “NOTICE” labels on the product and in this publication, Caterpillar cannot anticipate every possible circumstance that might involve a potential hazard. ‘The warnings in this publication and on the product aro, therefore, not all inclusive. If a tool, procedure, work method or operating technique that is not specifically recommended by Caterpillar is used, you must satisfy yourself that itis safe for you and for others. You should also ensure that the product will not be damaged or be made unsafe by the operation, lubrication, maintenance or repair procedures that you choose. ‘The information, specifications, and illustrations in this publication are on the basis of information that was available at the time that the publication was written. The specifications, torques, pressures, ‘measurements, adjustments. ilustrations, and other items can change at any time. These changes can affect the service that is given to the product. Obtain the complete and most current information before you start any job. Caterpillar dealers have the most current information available. When replacement parts are required for this product Caterpillar recommends using Caterpil- lar replacement parts or parts with equivalent ‘specifications including, but not limited to, phys- lcal dimensions, type, strength and material. Failure to heed this warning can lead to prema- ture failures, product damage, personal injury or death.

Take care to avold mixing metric dimensioned fas- teners and inch dimensioned fasteners. Introduction to Torque “Torque is measured in terms of force and distance. Force is the amount of pushing or pulling applied at the end of the lever. Distance is the length of the lever that is being used, Torque values are given in the following units: NEWTON meters (Nn), pound inches (Ib in), and pound feet (Ib A) This manual is intended to provide the operator with a reference. This manual will provide the standard torque settings for the following: bolts, nuts, plugs, fittings, and clamps. Exceptions to these torques are given in the Service Manual, if necessary. Be sure to use @ torque wrench that has the proper range. Torque wrenches must be used property in ‘order to ensure that the correct torque is applied. ‘Always use a smooth pull for torque wrenches. Do not jerk a torque wrench. Do not use adapters that change the length of the torque wrench. For the correct use of your torque wrench, refer to the instructions that were packaged with your torque wrench. For more information on the correct use of torque wrenches, refer to Special Publication, SEBV0516, “An Introduction to Torque’. Prior to installation of any hardware, ensure that components are in near new condition. Bolts and threads must not be worn or damaged. Threads must not have burrs or nicks. Hardware must be free of rust and corrosion, Clean reused fasteners with a oncorrosive cleaner. Lightly lubricate the threads of reused fasteners. Lightly lubricate the mating surface of the head of reused fasteners. Other applications ‘or lubricating fasteners may also be specified in the Service Manual. The Service Manual may also specify the use of sealants and compounds. SENR3130-10 Note: Do not use sealants that are not specified in the Service Manual. Do not use compounds that are not specified in the Service Manual. Clean old compound from the bolt and from the hole before installation. Torque-Turn The torque-turn method is used when precise control over clamping force is required. There is an initial torque and an additional turn. The initial torque is Tequired to bring all parts ofthe joint into contact. ‘The additonal tum provides the desired clamping force. Ensure that all fasteners have been torqued before you perform the additional turns. Tum the fastener according to the specified amount, The ‘specified amount will normally be equal to or greater lian! 90°. The specified amount will normally be in 30° increments. Turns of 120° or 180° are preferred. Turns of 120° or 180° are easily measured by the points of the hex head of the fastener. Lubrication ‘may be specified in order to reduce the effort that is required for Ue final lum. The use of the torque-turn method will allow the following: * Increase the life of the fastener. + May © the potential clamping force of a fastener. Typical applications are the following: + Track bolts Sprocket bolts * Connecting rod bolts + Engine Cylinder Heads * Drive Shaft bolts Note: Too much tension on the bolt will cause the bolt tobe stretched beyond the point of yield. The bolt will be permanently stretched. The bott will joosen the grip on the parts that are being fastened. If the bolt is tightened again, the bolt will break. Do not reuse bolts that have been permanently stretched. Torque Sequence Unless the bolt tightening sequence is specified by the Service Manual, the fasteners should be tightened in a cross pattern. Use Step 1 through Step 5 unless the tightening sequence is specified: 1. Hand tighten all fasteners. Larger fasteners may require the use of a small hand wrench, 2. Torque all fasteners to 40% of full torque. ‘SENR9130-10 3. Torque all fasteners to 70% of full torque. 4. Torque all fasteners to full toraue by using a cross pattern. Large flanges may require additional passes. 8. Apply at least one final full torque to all fasteners in a clockwise direction until all torque is uniform. Large flanges may require additional passes. Note: Final torque may be a turn. sonsresg Metric (ISO) Fasteners ‘SMCS Code: 7553 Metric (ISO) Nuts and Bolts stration 4 08068 Note: The following table has the recommended standard torque values for metric nuts and bolts for use on all Caterpillar equipment and Mitsubishi engines.
