Please note that some parts of the shear require special torque values. These parts are listed below with the
page number where the proper torque values for that area can be found. They include:
• Blade Bolts Page 5-15
• Hydraulic Connection Bolts (split fl ange connections) Page 5-40
• Speed Valve Bolts
Page 5-44-55, 8-26
• Turntable Bearing Bolts Page 6-3, 8-26

For all other bolts used in the LaBounty shear, use the Generic Torque Table, below.
CLASS 10.9 CLASS 12.9
SIZE FT-LBS N-M FT-LBS N-M
M1041554967
M12719685116
M16 173 235 207 281
M20 335 454 403 547
M24 579 785 693 939

It is preferred to apply torque to the nut
rather than the bolt head wherever pos-
sible.
Always replace bolts and nuts with the
same size and class of fastener. Inferior
fasteners can fail and cause injury or
death and damage to the equipment.
