Does anyone have their instructions handy for their Fulton F2 jack?

I misplaced mine and need to know the toque specs for the bolts that mount the jack to the weld on plate.

Thanks.

Thanks so much. Glad I asked because I would have been way over 15-20 foot pounds. Seems awfully light, but it is their instructions so I will go with it.

Are your instructions for the F2 because my F2 uses 4 bolts. They are 3/8-16 so the torque specs should be the same, but just checking.

Thanks again.

Re: Fulton F2 instructions

I just took that off the generic F2 installation instructions, could check out that link and find your specific model and might be different

I know I am dense as hell, but which link. The contact link from above is just for contact and I have searched and searched for instructions. I might be blind, so if you have a link to instructions, please point me in that direction and I will do the rest of the searching.

Thanks so much.

Ayuh,.... Standard operating procedure for 3/8"x 16 bolts, 'n nuts is 35ft.lbs....
Regardless what they're holding...

Or,.... Good, 'n snug, using a calibrated elbow..... ;)

YUP
stuff like this. I always say "tight enough that they don't come out but not so tight as to break em"

that is pretty much my way of doing things....Honestly could count the number of times I have actually used my torque wrench on my fingers...But I have a lot of time on my hands and sometimes like to help people by looking for the answer they asked for because I am bored....dang weather is too cold to do my glass work so my project is at a stand still and only thing to amuse myself is reading my favorite boat forum!

Thank you for finding that info for me. I usually have pretty good google skills, but sometimes they fail me.

I did hear back from Fulton this morning and they said 20-25 ft lbs which fits in with a torque chart I was able to locate for grade 5 3/8-16 bolts. I was surprised to hear back from them that quick, but it is a pleasant surprise.
