SECTION 5
RV TIRES
39
After your first trip, check the wheel lug torque
periodically for safety according to your
Chassis Guide. If you suspect the wheel lug
nuts have loosened at any time, have them
checked and torqued to the proper limits
immediately. If you suspect or notice the
wheel stud bolts are cracked or broken, they
must be replaced, along with adjacent bolts
that have probably also been weakened due
to the additional stress placed on them.
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
Chassis Guide.)
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.
