Emergency Towing
If your recreational vehicle needs to be towed, please contact an emergency road service
provider or a qualied service facility for assistance.
Never allow anyone to go under the recreation vehicle while it is being lifted
and/or being towed.
Wheel Lugs
After your rst trip, check the wheel lug torque periodically for safety. Check the wheel
lugs after winter storage, after a wheel removal, before starting a trip or following extensive
braking
1. Use the correct star pattern sequence to attach the recreation vehicle wheels.
2. Start all nuts by hand to prevent cross threading.
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.
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.
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.
