{CAUTION:

Incorrect wheel nuts or improperly tightened

wheel nuts can cause the wheel to come loose

and even come off. This could lead to an

expensive brake repairs, evenly tighten the wheel

nuts in the proper sequence and to the proper

torque speciﬁcation. See Capacities and

Speciﬁcations on page 5-90 for the wheel nut

torque speciﬁcation.
