AVOID
Exposure to water or conden-
sation will cause bearings to
rust.
Never let bearings run dry.
Never overpack wheel bear-

pre-greased. It is recom-
mended that you repack these
bearings at 12,000 miles or at
the end of each season’s
camping to prepare for winter
months ahead.
Use only a multipurpose No.
1 or 2 good quality wheel
bearing grease.
If bearing or cone (race)
become pitted, replace any
damaged part.
NOTE: Should you be
concerned about heat in wheel
bearings, check them
occasionally while traveling
by placing hand on 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 break-in
period (first 500 miles) your
hubs may feel extra warm due
to brake shoes setting in with
the brake drum.
