Front Wheels:
Slide the front wheel over the studs. Use caution to avoid damaging stud threads. Snug the nuts in
sequence. When all nuts have been seated, tighten the nuts to 500 ft. lbs. in sequence (as shown in the
illustration below).
Dual Rear Wheels:
Slide the inner dual wheel over the studs. Use caution to avoid damaging threads. Align the hand-
holds for valve access and slide the outer dual wheel over the studs, again using caution to avoid dam-
aging the stud threads. When all nuts are seated, tighten the nuts to 500 ft. lbs. in sequence (as shown
in the illustration below).
The hub mount wheels use two-piece flange cap nuts for both front and rear applications. No inner
cap nuts are required.
Torque the Nuts Properly:
• Tighten the wheel nuts to the recommended lug nut torque. Do not over tighten.
• Maintain the nut torque at the recommended level through planned periodic 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 output and adjust the line pressure for the
correct torque.
