Section 4: Vehicle Operation
Emergency Towing
If your recreational vehicle needs to be towed, please contact an emergency road service
provider or a qualified service facility for assistance.
Never allow anyone to go under the recreation vehicle while it is being lifted
and/or being towed.
Wheel Lugs
After your first trip, check the wheel lug torque periodically for safety.
Lugs should be checked:
After winter storage
After a wheel removal
Before starting a trip
Following extensive braking
Lug nuts should be tightened in two stages. Lugs should be started by hand, then torqued to
intermediate values (Stage 1) on the chart then torqued according to the final torque values
on the chart.Refer to the Wheel Lug Nut Diagram below.
Use the correct star pattern sequence to attach the recreation vehicle wheels.
Start all nuts by hand to prevent cross threading.
Tighten the nuts in the sequence shown.
NOTE: The proper method of tightening wheel lug nuts is with a properly
calibrated torque wrench and socket, not with an impact wrench or by hand.
Do not use a 4-way lug wrench or any other type of wrench that does not mea-
sure the actual pressure applied to the lug nut. Lug nuts should be tightened
according to the proper lug pattern on your wheels. Refer to the Wheel Lug
Nut Diagram below.
Wheel Lug Nut Diagrams
Because of the importance of having proper torque on the wheel lug nuts, you should always
have the wheels mounted and properly torqued by a qualified technician using the proper
tools.
Check and tighten wheel lug nuts regularly to make sure they did not
loosen during travel. Wheel lug nuts must be applied and maintained at
the proper torque levels to prevent loose wheels, broken studs and possi-
ble separation of the wheel(s) from your recreation vehicle. The lug nuts
on the wheels of your recreation vehicle must be maintained according to
listed torque values (see
Wheel Lug Nut Torque Chart.
) Over-torqued
and/or under-torqued wheels may result in component failure.
Wheels should
ALWAYS
be mounted and properly torqued by a qualified
service technician using the proper tools.
Failure to maintain proper torque of the wheel lug nuts could lead to
separation of the tire and wheel while driving, possibly resulting in
property damage or personal injury.
