WHEEL LUGS & TORQUE CHART
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).
