Wheel Bearings
The wheel bearings in your new Jayco
parktrailer are pre-greased. It is
recommended that you repackthese
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,
checkthem 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 overpackthe 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 park 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.
Tighten the lug nuts to 90-120 ft. pounds
torque using a cross tighten sequence:
5 stud = 1-3-5-2-4;
6 stud = 1-4-2-5-3-6;
8 stud = 1-5-3-7-2-6-4-8.
DO NOT ignore checking
wheel lug nuts.
