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.

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 recreational vehicle wheels
(see Wheel Lug Torque Chart).
