HANGING HE IRE
Never raise the RV by placing the jack
under the axle, springs or any attachment
parts. Failure to comply could result in
property damage, personal injury or death.
1. Keep the RV attached to the tow vehicle.
Block the tire on the opposite side of the
RV from the tire you are changing.
2. Loosen the wheel lug on the tire you are
changing before jacking up the RV. DO
NOT remove the lug nuts; only loosen
them for ease of removal when the tire is
off the ground.
3. Locate the main frame rail of the trailer (it
spans from front-to-back just inside the
tires).
4. To raise the RV, place the jack (hydraulic
or screw) under the main frame rail. It
must be just ahead of the front tire or just
behind the rear tire.

HEEL UGS
Torque is the amount of rotating force applied
to a fastener, such as a lug nut. Proper torque
of lug nuts can only be achieved by using a
properly calibrated torque wrench and socket.
Do not use a 4-way socket or any other type
of wrench that does not measure the actual
pressure applied to the lug nut.
After your first trip, check the wheel lug torque
periodically for safety. Check the wheel lugs
after winter storage, after a wheel removal,
before starting a trip or following extensive
braking. Use the
sequence to attach the RV wheels (see
Wheel Lug Torque Chart.)
