NOTICE
Failure to promptly remove corrosive salt or deicing solution from the frame may result in
damage which is not covered under any warranty
.
TIRES/WHEELS
Wash and rinse the tires and wheel as you would any exterior surface. Use caution in cleaning any aluminum wheel as harsh
chemicals may discolor or harm the aluminum surface. Use of vinyl tires covers or application of a protective tire coating
with UV protection may extend tire life in hot, sunny areas.
SAFETY CHAINS
Inspect the integrity of the safety chains prior to each trip. Any safety chain appearing cracked, damaged, or compromised,
should be immediately replaced. Never tow without use of safety chains.
HITCH JACK
The jack must be tested for damage prior to each trip. If difficult to operate, you may apply light oil or grease to the jack
mechanism. Replace any jack which is bent, dented, or otherwise damaged. Do not attempt to lift or support the RV with a
damaged jack.
STEPS
All pivot points on steps should be lubricated with an automotive type lubricant. Any rust or corrosion is to be addressed
using the same process as identified in exterior frame section.
HITCH COUPLER
Apply grease to the hitch coupler socket and a light oil to hitch latch mechanism.
WHEEL LUG NUT TORQUE
Proper and consistent lug nut torque is essential to safe operation of the trailer. Wheels on trailers are different from wheel
on autos in that trailer wheels are subject to high side load stresses when the trailer makes a turn. These types of “side-loads”
may flex the wheel and cause gradual loosing of the lug nuts.
The lug nuts have been checked prior to leaving the manufacturing facility, however “wearing in” and “side-loads” of the
wheel during travel causes the potential of loosening of the lug nuts.
Proper torque can only be achieved with use of a calibrated torque wrench and socket. Refer to your torque wrench
operator guide for calibration information for your specific torque wrench. Always use a torque wrench, do no use
any wrench or ratchet other than a torque wrench.
The lug nuts must be checked prior to every trip, and every 50 miles for the first 500 miles of use using the below
specified tightening pattern. The proper lug nut torque is 115 ft-lbs. Always use an accurate torque wrench to
inspect or tighten lug nuts.
