MAINTENANCE
NOTE: Cold tire inflation pressure is defined as a tire that has not been used for three or
more hours, or has been driven less than one mile. Tire inflation pressure of a hot tire may
show an increase of as much as 6 psi over a cold tire. Measure and adjust tire pressure
when the tires are cold.
⚠ WARNING
• SOME MAINTENANCE MAY REQUIRE THE USE OF
SPECIAL TOOLS. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO SERVICE,
REPAIR OR WORK ON ANY AXLE, BRAKE OR
WHEEL SYSTEM UNLESS YOU HAVE APPROPRIATE
SKILLS, KNOWLEDGE AND THE PROPER TOOLS.
LACK OF PROPER TRAINING, FAILURE TO FOLLOW
PROCEDURES OR USE SPECIAL TOOLS AND SAFETY
EQUIPMENT COULD RESULT IN PROPERTY DAMAGE,
SERIOUS INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE.
• WHEN REPLACING A TIRE, MAKE SURE TO REPLACE IT
WITH A TIRE OF THE SAME SIZE AND SPECIFICATIONS.
NEVER USE DIFFERENT TYPES OF TIRES TOGETHER
ON THE RV (I.E. RADIAL AND BIAS-BELTED). MIXING
OF TIRES CAN CAUSE HANDLING PROBLEMS, AS
WELL AS UNUSUAL TIRE WEAR, BOTH OF WHICH
CAN CREATE UNSAFE OR EVEN DANGEROUS DRIVING
CONDITIONS. IF YOUR SPARE IS OF A DIFFERENT SIZE
BE ESPECIALLY CAREFUL AND USE ONLY TO GET TO
THE NEAREST REPAIR FACILITY.
LUG NUT TORQUE SPECS
It is also important to have the wheel nuts checked regularly to make sure they have not
loosened during travel. Follow the schedule for regular wheel nut torque checks. If you
suspect that wheel nuts have loosened at any time, have them checked and torqued to
proper limits immediately (110 ft/lbs).
OWNER AWARENESS
If you suspect or notice cracked or broken wheel stud bolts, they must be replaced, along
with adjacent bolts. Adjacent bolts probably also have been weakened due to additional
stress placed on them.
Make frequent inspections of wheels and tires, looking for signs of wear or damage. Avoid
abusive driving habits, such as hitting curbs, or chug holes at high speed, which can
damage tires and wheel components.
NOTICE THE PROPER METHOD OF TIGHTENING WHEEL NUTS
IS WITH A TORQUE WRENCH, NOT WITH AN IMPACT
WRENCH OR BY HAND. BECAUSE OF THE IMPORTANCE OF
HAVING PROPER TORQUE ON WHEEL NUTS, YOU SHOULD
HAVE WHEELS MOUNTED AND PROPERLY TORQUED BY
QUALIFIED PERSONNEL WITH THE PROPER TOOLS.
