SECTION 4
STARCRAFT TOWABLE TOWING & HANDLING
Proper torque of lug nuts can only be
achieved by using a properly calibrated
torque wrench and socket.
Do not use a 4-way lug wrench or any other
type of wrench that does not measure the
actual pressure applied to the lug nut.

NOTE: The proper method of tightening
wheel lug nuts is with a torque wrench, not
with an impact wrench or by hand. Because
of the importance of having proper torque on
the wheel lug nuts, you should always have
the wheels mounted and properly torqued by
a qualified technician using the proper tools
After your first trip, check the wheel lug torque
periodically for safety. Check the wheel lugs
after winter storage, after a wheel removal,
before starting a trip or following extensive
braking. Use the correct star pattern
sequence to attach the RV wheels (see
Wheel Lug Torque Chart .)
1. Start all nuts by hand to prevent cross
threading.
2. Tighten the nuts in the sequence shown.
3. Tighten the lug nuts equally in stages as
indicated for your trailer's wheels (see
Wheel Lug Torque Chart ).
Check and re-torque after the first 10, 25
and 50 miles (16, 40 and 80 kilometers).
Thereafter, check and maintain the torque
according to the listed torque values
( see
Wheel Lug Torque Chart .)

TOPPING
Always carry road flares or reflective warning
signs to display if necessary. Pull off the
roadway as far as possible for emergency
stopping or tire changing. Turn ON your RV
hazard warning flashers. If traveling at night,
use three red warning indicators such as
flares, reflectors or lanterns, as follows:
1. Place the first warning indictor on the
traffic side of the RV, directed at the
nearest approaching traffic.
2. Place the second warning indicator 100
feet behind the RV in the center of the
lane and toward approaching traffic.
3. Place the third warning indicator 100 feet
in front of the RV in the center of the lane
and away from the traffic approaching
from behind.
The hazard-warning flasher provides
additional safety if the RV is stopped on the
side of the roadway and presents a possible
hazard to other motorists. When the flasher is
on, it serves as a warning to others to
approach and overtake your vehicle with
caution.
For personal safety, always stand off the
road and out of the way of traffic. Curves
and/or hills may affect the safe placement
of warning indicators

OWING
If your RV needs to be towed, please contact
an emergency road service provider or a
qualified service facility for assistance.
Failure to maintain proper torque of the
wheel lug nuts could lead to separation of
the tire and wheel while driving, possibly
resulting in property damage or personal
injury.
Never allow anyone to go under the RV
while it is being lifted and/or being
towed.
