You must set the Torque wrench to the correct setting before use. Over tightening can be
as dangerous as not tightening.

Do not torque wheel nuts when they are hot. Give the vehicle time for the
wheel nuts to cool down before attempting to torque them.

Please ensure that you reset the torque wrench to zero when finished so that the spring
does not stretch.

YOU WILL DAMAGE THE WRENCH IF THIS IS NOT DONE. YOU COULD ALSO
OVER OR UNDER TORQUE YOUR WHEEL NUTS LEADING TO DAMAGE OR LOSS
OF A WHEEL!
