WARNING
•
A loose wheel nut could cause parts dam-
age, and result in a tire falling off. This
could result in impossibility of driving, and
damage of the vehicle and physical injury.

Fit the socket wrench securely on the
wheel nut. If fitted improperly, the wrench
will slip off the nut, and could cause injury.
