Section 4: Vehicle Operation
Tires
Read and understand the following before taking your first trip in your RV.
Routine maintenance on your RV is important.
To ensure your tires are operating safely,
regular inspection of the tires and checking tire pressures is absolutely mandatory.
Alignment, balance and bearing wear will affect tire wear. Make sure to look for cracking,
bulging, uneven tread wear, etc.
• Damaged tools must not be used and must be removed from service for evaluation
and either reported and re-calibrated or replaced.
2.
Do not use accessories or handle extensions unless specifically allowed by the torque
wrench manufacturer.
3. Do not use the torque wrench as the primary means of tightening or loosening fasteners.
4.
Torque wrenches are length specific.
•
Grasp the torque wrench in the center of the handle when applying torque pres-
sure.
•
Place one hand on top of the other when using two hands.
5. Apply torque in a slow, steady manner in a downward direction and avoid sudden
“jerking” movements.
6.
When the wrench signals (by clicking, beeping or lights) that a specific torque has been
reached, stop immediately.
