Tighten the bolts to 190 ft.-lb. (258 Nโขm) torque.
NOTE: Use tapered ream MEL1233 to clean the tapered hole in the lift arms. The tapered hole must be clean and free of debris to provide a good contact surface for the pivot pin.
Slowly back the loader away to remove the Bob-Tach frame [Figure 50-40-5].
