9. Adjust the tire pressure when possible.

NOTE: Do not oil wheel studs. For chrome wheels, do

not substitute with chrome plated wheel nuts.

Wheel Nuts

All wheel nuts should be tightened occasionally to elimi-

nate the possibility of wheel studs being sheared or the

bolt holes in the wheels becoming elongated. This is

especially important during the first few hundred miles

of operation to allow the wheel nuts to become properly

set. All nuts should first be firmly seated against the

wheel. The nuts should then be tightened to recom-

mended torque. Tighten the nuts to final torque in

increments. Progress around the bolt circle, tightening

the nut opposite to the nut just previously tightened until

final torque is achieved. Recommended torques are

shown in the following chart.

To Stow The Flat Or Spare

Turn the wheel so that the valve stem is down. Slide the

wheel retainer through the center of the wheel and

position it properly across the wheel opening.

For convenience in checking the spare tire inflation, stow

with the valve stem toward the rear of the vehicle.

Attach the wheel wrench to the extension tube. Rotate the

winch mechanism until the wheel is drawn into place

against the underside of the vehicle. Continue to rotate

until you feel the winch mechanism slip or click 3 or 4

times. It cannot be overtightened. Push against the tire

several times to be sure it is firmly in place.
