11.3 Lug Nut Torque
WARNING!
Wheel lug nuts must be installed and kept at
the correct torque to prevent loose wheels,
broken studs, or possible separation of a
wheel from the axle.
It is an extremely important safety procedure to apply
and maintain the correct torque on lug nuts that secure
the wheel to the trailer axle. A calibrated torque wrench
is the best tool to make sure that the correct amount of
torque is applied to a fastener.
Tighten wheel lug nuts to the correct torque before
the first use and after each wheel removal. After a
wheel is installed, check and torque the lug nuts after
the first 10 miles (16 km), 25 miles (40 km), and
50 miles (80 km). Check the lug nut torque periodically
thereafter.
•
Start all lug nuts onto the threads by hand.
•
Tighten lug nuts in stages, following the pattern
shown below the Lug Nut Torque Specifications
table.
