• Before installing the wheels, lubricate the hub pilot pads with a drop of
oil to prevent galling. Do not lubricate any other wheel or hub surface.
• For a hub with intermittent pilot pads, position a pad at the twelve
o’clock position to center the wheel and reduce runout.
NOTE: Loosen and tighten lug nuts in a star pattern sequence.
Sequence tighten to 50 ft. lbs. first, then sequence tighten to
150 Ft. lbs. Over-tightening can cause distortion.
WARNING: Never use wheels or lug nuts different than the
original equipment as this could damage the wheel or the
mounting system. Damage to the wheel or mounting system
could cause a wheel to come off while the recreational vehicle is
in motion.
Front Wheels:
Slide the front wheel over the studs, being careful not to damage stud threads.
Snug the nuts in sequence, do not tighten them fully until all have been seated.
Tighten the nuts to 150 ft.lbs in sequence (as shown in the illustration).
Dual Rear Wheels:
Slide the inner dual wheel over the studs, being careful not to damage the stud
threads. Align the handholds for valve access and slide the outer dual wheel over
the studs, again being careful not to damage the stud threads.
Snug the nuts in sequence, do not tighten them fully until all have been seated.
Tighten the nuts to 150 ft. lbs. using the sequence (as shown in the illustration).
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.
