DEPARTURE CHECKLIST
WHEEL NUTS/LUGS & BEARINGS
Wheel nut torque must be checked prior to each trip and following the first 100km of
operation following a wheel change or removal to ensure that it is within specification.
Failure to do so could result in accident or injury. Tightening sequence is as per the
following image.
Recommended torque = 209Nm/ 154 ft-lbs.
Note: A calibrated torque wrench should be used to ensure accuracy. Impact/ Rattle guns
should not be relied on for achieving final wheel nut torque.
Note: It is your responsibility to check the wheel nuts prior to each trip
Note: It is advised to check & re-grease the wheel bearings after immersing the axles
in water. If you have done a large trip that includes traversing water crossings, a wheel
bearing service is required.
VIN/COMPLIANCE PLATE, TARE & ATM:
• ATM or maximum load capacity can be found on the VIN plate in the tunnel boot
• Also on that VIN plate is your TARE weight, tyre size and recommended road
pressure for your tyres.
EXCEEDING THE CARAVAN’S ATM & BALL WEIGHT IS ILLEGAL AND DOING
SO WILL VOID YOUR WARRANTY AND MOST LIKELY INSURANCE.
