Torque Settings
Wheel Nuts
Wheel nuts should be tightened to correct torque using a torque wrench. Never trust a “rattle gun” as these may
over or under tighten. A quality torque wrench will ensure nuts are tightened correctly. It’s important to
remember to check your wheel nuts at 50km, 500km and 1000km and periodically thereafter. The correct torque
setting of 125Nm for 12mm studs, 140nm for 14mm studs with alloy wheels and 200nm for 14mm studs with
steel rims. Refer to the plate on your drawbar.
Hitch
The high tensile bolts securing your hitch should be tightened to 90Nm. These should be checked at 5000km
intervals or 2500km in harsh off-road conditions.
Trailing Arm Pivot Bolts
The pivot bolts are a high tensile steel. The service interval for these bolts is 5000km under normal use and
2500km for harsh off-road conditions. During travel they should be inspected daily to ensure they have not
rotated or become damaged. Correct torque is 190Nm
CAUTION :
Hand Brake
Parking brakes are mechanically operated by cable means. The cable attachment occurs outside of the brake
backing plate. Cable force applied to the parking lever creates a torque through the pivot pin and cam assembly.
Torque transferred to the parking cam results in a spreading force between the primary and secondary shoes.
The shoes in turn, move towards the drum until contact is made. Friction generated between the drum and lining
contact surface results in parking brake capability.
Use the cable adjuster to give enough tension to be able to set the handbrake lever on the last two notches of
the coupling or handbrake is 1/3 raised when unladen. This needs to be checked again when the trailer or
caravan is loaded. If the cable is too tight, the brakes will be applied as the axle moves backward under spring
deflection.
