General Safety Information
Bri-Mar 12
^ WARNING
Metal creep between the wheel rim and lug nuts (bolts) will cause rim to
loosen.
Death or injury can occur if wheel comes off.
Tighten lug nuts (bolts) before each tow.
The proper tightness (torque) for lug nuts is listed in Section 8.2.13 in the
“Inspection and Service Instructions” chapter of this manual. Use a
torque wrench to tighten the lug nuts, use the crisscross star pattern as
shown in the Inspection, Service and Maintenance section.
Lug nuts are also prone to loosen after first being assembled. When
driving a new trailer (or after wheels have been remounted), check to
make sure they are tight after the first 10, 25 and 50 miles of driving and
before each tow thereafter.
Failure to perform this check can result in a wheel separating from the
trailer and a crash, leading to death or serious injury.
^ WARNING
Lug nuts are prone to loosen after being first assembled. Death or
serious injury can result.
Check lug nuts for tightness on a new trailer, and after re-mounting a
wheel at 10, 25 and 50 miles.
^ WARNING
Inadequate lug nut torque can cause a wheel separating from the trailer,
leading to death or serious injury can result.
Be sure lug nuts are tight before each tow.
