Changing Tires - Floe Versa-Max UT Owner's Manual

CHANGING TIRES

1. Start all lug nuts by hand with the beveled side of the lug
nut toward the wheel to prevent cross-threading and to
ensure proper nut-to-rim seal.
2. Tighten bolts in the sequence detailed to the torque specified
in the table below.
3. Inflate tires to proper PSI as noted on the sidewall of the
tire.
4. Lug nuts on new wheels must be re-torqued after the first
10, 25 and 50 miles. Check periodically thereafter.

WARNING
LUG NUTS ON NEW WHEELS SHOULD BE
RE-TORQUED AFTER THE FIRST 10, 25 AND 50
MILES. CHECK PERIODICALLY THEREAFTER.
This should be done as clamping loads can change following
the initial installation due to the metal compression/
elongation or thermal stresses affecting the wheels as they
are breaking in, as well as to verify the accuracy of the
original installation.
WARNING
Improper tire pressure can create severe
dangers. Be sure your tires are always
properly inflated. The proper pressure for your
tires can be found on the side wall of tire.
WARNING
Change worn tires. A tire failure could result
in an uncontrollable road hazard.
WARNING
Do not rely on the tailgate ramp to contain or
stop cargo from sliding or rolling out of the
trailer. Use good judgment and secure all cargo.
Failure to do so may result in a road hazard which could
cause serious injury and/or death.
