JAYCO TOWABLE SECTION 4-TOWING & SET-UP
If your RV needs to be towed, please contact an emergency road service provider or a
qualified service facility for assistance.
WHEEL LUGS
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.)
NOTE: The proper method of tightening wheel lug nuts is with a properly calibrated
torque wrench and socket, not with an impact wrench or by hand. 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.
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.
