General Safety Infomation ! WARNING Improper tire pressure may cause unstable trailer. Blowout and loss of control may occur. Death or serious injury can result. Make sure of proper tire pressure before towing trailer. Inflate tires to pressure stated on the Certification / VIN label. The tightness of the lug nuts is very important in keeping the wheels properly seated to the hub. Before each tow, check to make sure they are tight. ! WARNING Metal creep between the wheel rim and lug nuts (bolts) may cause rim to loosen. Death or injury can occur if wheel comes off. Tighten lug nuts (bolts) before each tow. The proper tightness (torque) for lug nuts and tightening sequence is listed in the Inspection, Service and Maintenance section of this manual. Use a torque wrench to tighten the lug nuts and use the crisscross star pattern sequence. Improper tightening of the lug nuts voids the axle warranty. Lug nuts are also prone to loosen after first being assembled. When driving a new trailer (or after wheels have been remounted), check to make sure they are tight after the first 10, 25 and 50 miles of driving and before each tow thereafter. Failure to perform this check can result in a wheel separating from the trailer and a crash, leading to death or serious injury. ! WARNING Lug nuts are prone to loosen after being first assembled. Death or serious injury can result. Check lug nuts for tightness on a new trailer, and after remounting a wheel at 10, 25 and 50 miles. 15
