10.3 Hydraulic Fitting Torque
Tightening Flare Type Tube Fittings
1.
Check flare and flare seat for defects that might
cause leakage.
2.
Align tube with fitting before tightening.
3.
Hand-tighten swivel nut until snug.
4.
To prevent twisting the tube, use two wrenches.
Place one wrench on the connector body and
tighten the swivel nut with the second. Torque
to values shown.
If a torque wrench is not available, use the FFFT
(Flats From Finger Tight) method.

10.4 Wheel Lug Torque
It is extremely important safety procedure to apply
and maintain proper wheel mounting torque on
your trailer axle. Torque wrenches are the best
method to assure the proper amount of torque is
being applied to a fastener.
Wheel lugs should be torqued before first road
use and after each wheel removal. Check and re
torque after the first 10 miles (16 km), 25 miles
(40 km), and again at 50 miles (80 km). Check
periodically thereafter.
WARNING!
Wheel lug nuts must be installed and
kept at the proper torque value to prevent
loose wheels, broken studs, or possible
separation of wheels from axle.
•
Start all lug nuts onto the threads by hand.
•
Tighten lug nuts in stages, following the
pattern shown in the Wheel Lug Nut Torque
table.
