FRONT WHEEL LUG NUT TIGHTENING PROCEDURE

WARNING

Whenever any wheel lug nuts require tightening or a wheel has been removed and replaced, all lug nuts must

be torqued to the required torque. Failure to follow this warning may result in serious injury to personnel or

damage to equipment.

NOTE

Tightening pattern is the same for all wheel assemblies. Wheel nuts on left side of vehicle are left hand

threads (turn right to loosen, turn left to tighten). Wheel nuts on right side of vehicle are right hand

threads (turn left to loosen, turn right to tighten).

After operating vehicle for 50-100 miles (80 to 160 km), retorque wheel nuts.
