On vehicles with tapered rear
wheel nuts, make sure the tapered
ends of the nuts fit into the tapers
on the wheels.
3. Lower the vehicle to the ground.

WARNING! Loose nuts could cause a tire to come off during operation, which
could result in an accident or overturn. Always ensure that all nuts are torqued to
specification.
