WHEEL LUGS
I
WARNING: Wheel lug nuts must be applied and maintained at the
proper torque levels to prevent loose wheels, broken studs, and possible
separation of the wheel(s) from your trailer. The lug nuts on the wheels
of your Jayco trailer must be maintained according to the torque values
listed in the chart on the following page. Over torquing and/or under
torquing wheels may result in component failure.
After your first trip, check the wheel lugs periodically for safety. Check the wheel lugs
after winter storage, before starting a trip or following extensive braking. The proper
procedure and sequence for attaching the wheels and torquing lug nuts is as follows.
1. Start all nuts by hand to prevent cross threading.
2. Tighten the nuts in the sequence shown in Fig. 5.
3. Tighten the lug nuts equally in stages as indicated for your trailer's wheels in the
chart.
4. Torque the wheel lug nuts before the first road use and after each wheel removal.
Check and re-torque after the first 10, 25 and 50 miles (16, 40 and 80 kilometers).
Thereafter, check and maintain the torque as defined in the chart on the following
page.

WARNING: Failure to maintain proper torque of the wheel lug nuts
could lead to separation of the tire and wheel while driving, possibly
resulting in property damage or personal injury.
