Weighing The Motorhome - Holiday Admiral 2016 Manual

WARNING:
Never use wheels or lug nuts different
than the original equipment as
this could damage the wheel or the
mounting system. Damage to the
wheel or mounting system could
cause a wheel to come off while the
motorhome is in motion.
For used nuts add two
drops of oil between
flange and hex.

Flanged lugnut
Front Wheels:
Slide the front wheel over the studs. Use
caution to avoid damaging stud threads. Snug
the nuts in correct pattern. Do not fully torque
until all nuts have been seated.
Dual Rear Wheels:
Slide the inner dual wheel over the studs.
Use caution to avoid damaging threads. Align
the hand-holds for valve stem access and slide
the outer dual wheel over the studs again using
caution to avoid damaging threads.
Before installing the wheels, lubricate
z
the hub pilot pads with a drop of oil to
prevent galling. Do not lubricate any
other wheel or hub surface.
For a hub with intermittent pilot pads,
z
position a pad at the twelve o'clock
position to center the wheel and reduce
runout.
See the Chassis OEM Manual for
z
lugnut torque specification.
Snug nuts in sequence but do not tighten
them fully until all are seated. Tighten the
nuts in the pattern indicated in the Chassis
OEM manual. Hub mount wheels use two-
piece flange cap nuts for both front and rear
applications. No inner cap nuts are required.

Torque the Nuts Properly:
Tighten the wheel nuts to the
z
recommended lug nut torque. Do not
over tighten.
Maintain the nut torque at the
z
recommended level through planned
periodic checks or at 10,000 mile
intervals, whichever comes first.
If air wrenches are used, they must be
z
periodically calibrated for the proper
torque output. Use a torque wrench to
check air wrench output and adjust line
pressure for the correct torque.
CAUTION:
Dual wheels require tightening the
lugnuts to the specified torque at 100
miles and again at 500 miles of initial
operation. Preform same procedure
any time a wheel has been removed.

Proper weight distribution, load management
and operating within established limitations
will aid in safe and enjoyable travel. The
information in this section outlines guidelines
and provides information on the proper
techniques for weighing to accurately
determine total weight, axle weights, balance
and tire inflation pressure. According
the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration, most tire failures are a result
of under-inflated tires.
