D060H02O-AAT7. Reinstall Wheel Nuts
To reinstall the wheel, hold it on the
studs, put the wheel nuts on the studs
and tighten them finger tight. The nuts
should be installed with their small di-
ameter ends directed inward. Jiggle the
tire to be sure it is completely seated,
then tighten the nuts as much as pos-
sible with your fingers again.
D060H01TG-A
!
If there is not good contact on the
mounting surface between the wheel
and hub, the wheel nuts could come
loose and cause the loss of a wheel.
Loss of a wheel may result in loss of
control of the vehicle. This may cause
serious injury or death.WARNING:
