Emergency Towing
If your RV needs to be towed, please contact an emergency road service provider or a
qualied service facility for assistance.
Wheel Lugs
After your rst 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 rst 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: Curves and/or hills may affect the safe placement of warn-
ing indicators.
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.
For personal safety, always stand off the road and out of the way of trafc.
