^ WARNING
Metal creep between the wheel rim and lug
nuts or bolts can cause rim to loosen.
Death or injury can occur if wheel comes
off.
Tighten lug nuts or bolts before each tow.
Tighten the lug nuts or bolts in three stages to the
nal torque for the axle size on your trailer, to prevent
wheels from coming loose. Tighten each lug nut or bolt
in the order shown in the following gure.
Use a calibrated torque wrench to tighten the fasteners.
Verify that wheel studs are free of contaminates such
as paint or grease, which may result in inaccurate
torque readings. Over-tightening will result in breaking
the studs or permanently deforming the mounting stud
holes in the wheels, and will void the axle warranty.
See your axle manufacturers manual or your dealer for
wheel nut or bolt torque specications.
