WARNING
Metal creep between the wheel rim and lug
nuts or bolts can cause rim to loosen.
Death or injury can occur if wheel comes
off.
Tighten lug nuts or bolts before each tow.
Tighten the lug nuts or bolts in three stages to the
fi nal torque for the axle size on your trailer, to prevent
wheels from coming loose. Tighten each lug nut or
bolt in the order shown in the following fi gure.
Use a calibrated torque wrench to tighten the
fasteners. Verify that wheel studs are free of
contaminates such as paint or grease, which may
result in inaccurate torque readings. Over-tightening
will result in breaking the studs or permanently
deforming the mounting stud holes in the wheels, and
will void the axle warranty.
See your axle manufacturers manual or your dealer
for wheel nut or bolt torque specifi cations.
