Wheel Nuts

All wheel nuts should be tightened occasionally to elimi-

nate the possibility of wheel studs being sheared or the

bolt holes in the wheels becoming elongated. This is

especially important during the first few hundred miles/

kilometers of operation to allow the wheel nuts to

become properly set. All wheel nuts should first be firmly

seated against the wheel. The wheel nuts should then be

tightened to recommended torque. Tighten the wheel

nuts to final torque in increments. Progress around the

bolt circle, tightening the wheel nut opposite to the wheel

nut just previously tightened until final torque is

achieved. Recommended torques are shown in the fol-

lowing chart.
