3. Tighten the nuts in the sequence shown.
4. Lug nuts should be tightened in two stages. Lugs should be started by hand, then
torqued to intermediate values (Stage 1) on the chart then torqued according to the nal
torque values on the chart.Refer to the Wheel Lug Nut Diagram below.Wheel Lug Nut
Diagrams
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 qualied technician using the proper
tools.
Check and tighten wheel lug nuts regularly to make sure they did not
loosen during travel. Wheel lug nuts must be applied and maintained at
the proper torque levels to prevent loose wheels, broken studs and possi-
ble separation of the wheel(s) from your recreation vehicle. The lug nuts
on the wheels of your recreation vehicle must be maintained according to
listed torque values (see .) Over-torqued
and/or under-torqued wheels may result in component failure.
Wheels should ALWAYS be mounted and properly torqued by a qualied
service technician using the proper tools.
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. Lug nuts should be
tightened according to the proper lug pattern on your wheels. Refer to the
Wheel Lug Nut Diagram below.
