5.3 Lug Nuts on Wheel
Failure to torque wheel lug nuts to the specifications of the wheel
manufacturer can provoke loss of wheel(s).
Proper torque is essential to prevent wobble and potential loss of wheel(s).Over or
under-torqued lug nuts can cause the wheel to separate from the wheel mounting.

Keep lug nuts un-lubricated at all times.
