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. Check the wheel
lugs after winter storage, after a wheel removal, before starting a trip or following extensive
braking.
See Wheel Lug Torque Chart.
1. Use the correct star pattern sequence to attach the recreation vehicle wheels
2. Start all nuts by hand to prevent cross threading.
3. Tighten the nuts in the sequence shown.
4. Tighten the lug nuts equally in stages as indicated for your recreational vehicle wheels
Check and re-torque after the first 10, 25 and 50 miles (16, 40 and 80 kilometers).
Thereafter, check and maintain the torque according to the listed torque values
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.
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 measure the actual pressure applied to the
lug nut.
