You’ve just joined an exclusive but rapidly
growing club.

For our part, we want to welcome you to the
group and thank you for buying a Yetter product.

We hope your new Yetter products will help you
achieve both goals-increase your productivity and

specifications, techniques and reference
information of a supplementary nature.

The word IMPORTANT is used in the text when
immediate damage will occur to the machine due

to improper technique or operation. Important will
apply to the same information as specified by
note only of an immediate and urgent nature.

It is the responsibility of the user to read the
operator’s manual and comply with the safe and
correct operating procedure and to lubricate and
maintain the product according to the
maintenance schedule in the operator’s manual.

The user is responsible for inspecting his
machine and for having parts repaired or
replaced when continued use of the product
would cause damage or excessive wear to the
other parts.

It is the user’s responsibility to deliver his
machine to the Yetter dealer who sold him the

BOLT TORQUE

Mounting bolts and hardware
All hardware used on the 5000 Devastator is Grade 5 unless otherwise noted. Grade 5
cap screws are marked with three radial lines on the head. If hardware must be replaced,
be sure to replace it with hardware of equal size, strength and thread type. Refer to the
torque values chart when tightening hardware.

Important: Over tightening hardware can cause as much damage as when
under tightening. Tightening hardware beyond the recommended range can
reduce its shock load capacity.

The chart below is a guide for proper torque. Use it unless a specified torque is called out
elsewhere in the manual.
Torque is the force you apply to the wrench handle or the cheater bar, times the length of the
handle or bar.
Use a torque wrench whenever possible.

The following table shows torque in ft. lbs. for coarse thread hardware.
