Lug Nut Torque Requirements
It is extremely important to apply and maintain proper wheel
mounting torque. Be sure to use only the fasteners matched
to the cone angle of the wheel. Proper procedure for attach-
ment of the wheels is as follows:
1. Start all wheel lug nuts by hand.
2. Torque all lug nuts in sequence. See Figure 35.
DO NOT
torque the wheel lug nuts all the way down. Tighten each
lug nut in 3 separate passes as defined by Table 9.
3. After first road use, retorque all lug nuts in sequence.
Check all wheel lug nuts periodically.

NEVER!
use an pneumatic air gun
to tighten wheel lug nuts.

particular load per
tire manufacturer.
Edge Wear
Under Inflation
Make sure load does
not exceed axle rating.
Align wheels.
Side Wear
Adjust pressure to
particular load per
tire manufacturer.
Loss of chamber
or overloading.
Toe Wear
Incorrect toe-in
Align wheels.
Cupping
Out-of balance
Check bearing adjust-
ment and balance tires.
Flat Spots
