Brakes and Brake Linings
Refer to the axle manufacturer’s supplied information for a complete maintenance
schedule on the brakes and brake linings. Make sure that your brakes are in good working
condition before each trip.
.
NOTE: Canadian transportation laws require that brake linings be replaced if there
is any cracking for semi-tractor and trailers only. This does not apply to recreation
vehicles.
I
WARNING: Failure to maintain the brakes in proper working
condition as specified in the manual supplied by the axle manufacturer,
will cause property damage, personal injury and possibly death.
Consult with your independent authorized dealer for assistance.
TIRES
Your trailer tires are specifically manufactured for recreation vehicle use. Make sure you
understand the specific needs of RV tires. Consult with your tire supplier, independent,
authorized dealer or the tire manufacturer for complete information and maintenance
instructions. Basic guidelines for your tires are also listed in this manuals “Before You
Travel...” chapter.
Changing Tire
1. Keep the trailer attached to the tow vehicle. Block the tire on the opposite side of the
unit from the tire you are changing.
2. Loosen the wheel lug on the tire you are changing before jacking up the trailer. DO
NOT remove the lug nuts, only loosen them for ease of removal when the tire is off
the ground.
3. Locate the main frame rail of the trailer. It spans from the front to the back just inside
the tires.
4. To raise the trailer, place the jack (hydraulic or screw) under the main frame rail. It
must be just ahead of the front tire or just behind the rear tire.
I
WARNING: Never raise the trailer by placing the jack under the axle
beam, springs or any attachment parts. Failure to comply could result
in property damage, personal injury or death.
