AVOID
Wheel Bearings
The wheel bearings in your new Jayco
sport utility trailer are pre-greased. It is
recommended that you repack these
bearings at 12,000 miles (19,000
kilometers) or at the end of each season’s
camping to prepare for the winter months
ahead.
Use only a multipurpose No. 1 or 2 good
quality wheel bearing grease.
If the bearing or cone (race) become pitted,
replace any damaged part.
Note: If you are concerned about
heat in the wheel bearings,
check them occasionally
while traveling by placing
your hand on the hub. You
will be able to hold your
hand momentarily on the
hub.
Should it be extremely hot, it is
recommended to have the bearings
inspected by a qualified service center.
Note: During the break-in period
(first 500 miles) (800
kilometers) your hubs may
feel extra warm due to
brake shoes setting in with
the brake drum.
Exposure to any water or
condensation will cause the
bearings to rust and be
damaged.
Never let the bearings run dry.
Never overpack the wheel
bearding, especially in the
middle of the hub. It will trap
heat and possibly disperse
grease from the seals or dust
cap.
Lug Nuts
Lug nuts must be checked at 25 miles (40
kilometers) when your sport utility trailer
is new or a tire is removed and every 3,000
miles (5000 kilometers) thereafter. In
addition, the lug nuts should be checked
periodically for safety, especially before
long trips, extensive braking, or tire
changes.
Refer to the axle manufacturer’s owner’s
manual for complete instructions for tire
changes and proper lug nut torque values.
I
DO NOT ignore
checking wheel lug
nuts. Failure to do
so can cause wheel
loss
and
an
accident.
