each wheel removal. Check and torque after the first 10
miles, 25 miles, and again at 50 miles. Check periodically
thereafter.

Lug Nuts (Bolts)

Lug nuts are prone to loosen right after a wheel is mounted to a
hub. When driving on a remounted wheel, check to see if the lug
nuts are tight after the first 10, 25 and 50 miles of driving and
before each tow thereafter.
CHECK LUG NUTS FOR TIGHTNESS ON A NEW TRAILER OR WHEN WHEEL(S) HAVE BEEN
REMOUNTED AFTER THE FIRST 10, 25 AND 50 MILES OF DRIVING.
METAL CREEP BETWEEN THE WHEEL RIM AND LUG NUTS WILL RESULT IN A WHEEL
COMING OFF, LEADING TO DEATH OR SERIOUS INJURY. TIGHTEN LUG NUTS BEFORE
EACH TOW.
