Section 4: Vehicle Operation
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. Lug nuts should be tight-
ened 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.
Criss cross “star” patterns, as shown, must be followed during tightening sequence.
A Digital or Dial Torque Wrench is recommended.
Also applies to any service involving wheel or lug removal, during the life of the recre-
ational vehicle.
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.
