Check wheel nut torque to 95 ft/lb at 15, 50 and 100 km and before each tow.
Trailer wheel nuts are prone to loosen after first being assembled. When towing a new trailer, or
after wheels have been remounted, check to make sure the wheel nuts are tight after the first 15, 50 and
100 km of driving and before each tow thereafter.
• Torque wheel nuts to 95 ft/lb in the sequence shown above.
• Repeat sequence before each trip or whenever a wheel is removed or replaced.
Check wheel bearings for heat or excessive play at 15, 50 and 100 km.
The wheel bearing play is set at the factory, however, the wheel bearings may need resetting after
towing and should be checked regularly.
• Tow the trailer for 15 km at highway speeds.
• Stop the vehicle and park in a safe location.
• Place your hand on each of the wheel hubs of the trailer. If a hub is too warm to comfortably
hold your hand on, the bearing is generating excessive heat and may be defective, have
insufficient play or require lubrication.
• Setting wheel bearings please refer to the Service and Maintenance section of this manual.
• Check the wheel bearing for excessive heat or play again after 50 and 100 kms.
Failure to follow these instructions may result in serious injury or death! Failure to follow
