Wheel Nuts
• All wheel nuts should be tightened occasionally to eliminate the possibility of
wheel studs being sheared or the bolt holes in the wheels becoming elongated.
This is especially important during the first few hundred miles/kilometers of
operation to allow the wheel nuts to become properly set. All wheel nuts should
first be firmly seated against the wheel. The wheel nuts should then be tightened
to recommended torque. Tighten the wheel nuts to final torque in increments.
Progress around the bolt circle, tightening the wheel nut opposite to the wheel nut
just previously tightened until final torque is achieved. Recommended torques are
shown in the following chart.
