A Word About Torque Specifications
Torque is a measurement of the tightness of a threaded
fastener such as a screw or bolt, determined by using a torque
wrench. The torque specifications in this manual are listed to
help you determine the correct tightness of parts and their
threaded fasteners.
The torque specifications should be used to make sure you do
not over-tighten the fasteners. Slight differences in a similar
part may require a different torque, so in most cases we offer a
range of torque. Applying more than the recommended torque
to a fastener does not provide extra holding power, and may
actually lead to damage or failure of a part.
Always perform the simple function tests listed in this
chapter to make sure a part is properly tightened, whether or
not the part was tightened with a torque wrench.
WARNING
A child carrier that malfunctions can cause you to lose
control of the carrier, or the child to fall. Inspect the entire
child carrier thoroughly before every use, and do not use it
until any problem has been corrected.

This chapter lists the intervals for inspecting the parts of a
child carrier, and instructions for adjustment and lubrication
of those parts. If any part fails any inspection, do not use the
child carrier. Either repair or replace the part, or take the child
carrier to your dealer for service.
