MAINTENANCE CHART
COMPONENT MAINTENANCE AVOID
Lug nuts must be checked at 10,
25, and 50 miles (15, 40 and 100
kilometers) when new or after
tire removal, then every 3,000
miles. After this, lug nuts should
be periodically checked for
safety, especially before any long
trip and extensive braking or a
tire change.
Tighten lug nuts to 85-95 ft.
pounds torque for 12" tires and
50-75 pounds torque for 13" tires
using a cross tighten sequence.
See “Changing the Tire & Wheel”
in Chapter 7.
WARNING:
DO NOT ignore checking
wheel lug nuts. Failure to do
can cause wheel loss and an
accident.
Lug Nuts
(a.) Exposure to water or
condensation will cause
bearings to rust.
(b.) Never let bearings run
dry.
(c.) Never overpack wheel
bearings, especially in
the middle of hub. It will
trap heat if overpacked.
The wheel bearings in your new
Jayco tent camper are pre-greased.
It is recommended that you re-
pack these bearings at 12,000
miles (19,000 kilometers) 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 bear-
ings inspected by a qualified
service center.
NOTE: During break-in period
(first 500 miles) (800 kilometers)
your hubs may feel extra warm
due to brake shoes setting in with
the brake drum.
