Wheel Installation
It is extremely important to apply and maintain proper wheel
mounting torque.
WHEEL NUTS MUST BE INSTALLED AND MAINTAINED AT THE PROPER TORQUE
TO PREVENT LOOSE WHEELS, BROKEN STUDS, AND POSSIBLE DANGEROUS
SEPARATION OF WHEEL FROM AXLE. USE ONLY NUTS MATCHED TO THE CONE
ANGLE OF THE WHEEL.
Tighten lug nuts to proper torque to prevent wheels from
coming loose. Use a torque wrench to tighten the fasteners. If
you do not have a torque wrench, tighten fasteners with a lug
wrench, then immediately have a service garage or dealer
tighten lug nuts to the proper torque. Over-tightening will
result in breaking studs or permanently deforming mounting
stud holes in the wheels.
1.
Start all nuts by hand to prevent cross threading. DO
NOT use a lubricant on threads or nuts.
2.
Tighten nuts in the following sequence:
3.
Tighten nuts in stages. Following the recommended
sequence, tighten nuts per wheel torque chart.
4.
Torque wheel nuts before first road use and after each
wheel removal. Check and torque every 3 months or 150
hours of operation.
