Torque the Nuts Properly
• Be sure to tighten the wheel nuts to the recommended nut torque. Do not
over tighten.
• Maintain the nut torque at the recommended level through planned peri-
odic checks, or at 10,000 miles intervals, whichever comes first.
• If air wrenches are used, they must be periodically calibrated for the
proper torque output. Use a torque wrench to check the air wrench out-
put and adjust the line pressure for the correct torque.
Aluminum Wheels
Care and Maintenance of Aluminum Wheels
• Clean frequently with high pressure water from a hose. The use of mild
detergent will speed the cleaning process. Use no harsh alkaline, alco-
hol or acid cleaners. Secondary hand washing with a soft cloth may be
required to remove some stubborn road films.
• When the tires are removed, the entire wheel must be cleaned and
inspected. With a wire brush or sandpaper remove dirt, corrosion or
any foreign materials from the tire side of the rim. Do not use a wire
brush to remove dirt and corrosion for the appearance surface of the
wheel.
• To maintain the original appearance of your aluminum wheels, the fol-
lowing procedures are recommended.
1. After installing new wheels and prior to operating your motorhome, use
a sponge, cloth or soft fiber brush to wash the exposed wheel surfaces
with a mild detergent / warm water solution.
2. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
3. Wipe dry to avoid water spots.
4. Use a high quality, non-abrasive polish to remove stubborn road tars,
insects or hard to remove deposits.
5. To protect the appearance surface on Accu-Forge wheels, wax the
cleaned surface with a high quality car wax.
6. Clean your aluminum wheels as frequently as required to maintain their
appearance.
