Securing Your Caravan

 

When parked and unhitched you should always use suitable wheel chocks to ensure the trailer can’t move in the event 
of a handbrake failure. For security a wheel clamp or and hitch lock are highly recommended. 

 

Torque Settings

 

 

Wheel Nuts

 

Wheel nuts should be tightened to correct torque using a torque wrench. Never trust a “rattle gun” as these may over 
or under tighten. A quality torque wrench will ensure nuts are tightened correctly. It’s important to remember to check 
your wheel nuts at 50km, 500km and 1000km and periodically thereafter. The correct torque setting of 125Nm for 
12mm studs, 140nm for 14mm studs and alloy wheels and 200nm for 14mm studs with steel rims. Refer to the plate 
on your drawbar.
