The following labels showing the proper lug nut tightening pattern and a warning label are
located on the driver side of the A frame hitch on travel trailers, and on the driver side of the
pinbox on fth wheel units. Lug pattern label will vary according to number of wheel lugs.
1. Tools should be maintained, in good condition, and stored appropriately.
• Avoid dropping or sliding a torque wrench. Dropping it can cause the instrument
to lose reliable calibration.
• Damaged tools must not be used and must be removed from service for evaluation
and either reported and re-calibrated or replaced.
2. Do not use accessories or handle extensions unless specically allowed by the torque
wrench manufacturer.
3. Do not use the torque wrench as the primary means of tightening or loosening fasteners.
4. Torque wrenches are length specic.
• Grasp the torque wrench in the center of the handle when applying torque pres-
sure.
• Place one hand on top of the other when using two hands.
5. Apply torque in a slow, steady manner in a downward direction and avoid sudden
“jerking” movements.
6. When the wrench signals (by clicking, beeping or lights) that a specic torque has been
reached, stop immediately.
