Notes On Lug Bolts - Ah40.10-N-1005-01A

MODEL 906 

The following information must always be observed.

Otherwise, rims or threaded connections may be damaged or a wheel may be lost while the vehicle is driving.

• Always observe the tightening torque for the wheels. Rim warpage may occur if the tightening torque is too high.
• Do not damage, grease or oil the wheel bolts or bolt thread and inside thread of the wheel hub or wheel nut. The thread must be free-moving and free of any soiling.
• The contact surfaces and center hole guide on rims and hubs must be free of dirt, corrosion and they should not be deformed.
• Remove stickers and sticker residues from contact surfaces.
• Check the rim radius seats for visible deformation and contraction.
• Always replace deformed, worn or defective parts.
• With nut-centered twin tires it is to be ensured that all the spherical rings are mounted on the lug bolts.
• Under no circumstances use wheel bolts or wheel nuts not belonging to the rim as this would not guarantee firm seating of the rims.
• Position the wheel bolts or wheel nuts, screw in by hand and tighten securely in a crosswise sequence using a torque wrench.
• With wheel nuts with pressure plate only lubricate the pairs of faces in contact between the pressure plate and wheel nut lightly. No grease or oil must get on the thread!

It is essential to retighten the wheel bolts or wheel nuts to the specified torque after 50 km.

If new or newly painted rims are used, the wheel bolts or wheel nuts must also be retightened to the specified torque after 1000...5000 km. When using disk wheels and wheel bolts or wheel nuts from other manufacturers, for which the wheel connection has not been checked and approved by Daimler AG, Daimler AG shall then not be held liable. Notify the customer about this accordingly.
