WARNING

WHEN REPLACING TIRES CONSULT THE WHEEL AND TIRE

MANUFACTURERS’ SPECIFICATIONS FOR COMPATIBILITY. IMPROPERLY

MATCHED WHEELS AND TIRES MAY FAIL AND CAUSE PROPERTY

DAMAGE, SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY, OR LOSS OF LIFE.

Wheel Bearing Lubrication

There is no need to lift the vehicle before greasing axles

equipped with today’s modern “easy-lube” technologies:

Remove the rubber plug from grease cap.

Insert grease gun on the grease zerk.

Pump until new grease begins to appear.

Replace rubber plug.

Hubs and components should also be disassembled

yearly and inspected for worn or otherwise damaged

parts.

WARNING

KEEP TIRES PROPERLY INFLATED. A TIRE THAT IS RUN LONG

DISTANCES OR AT HIGH SPEEDS WHILE SERIOUSLY UNDERINFLATED

WILL OVERHEAT TO THE POINT WHERE THE TIRE MAY LOSE AIR

SUDDENLY AND/OR CATCH FIRE, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN DAMAGE

TO THE VEHICLE AND ITS CONTENTS AND OR PERSONAL INJURY.

Tires and Wheels

The tires should be checked before starting on every trip.

Check them regularly and keep inflated to recommended

pressures. The recommended tire pressure is on the

side of the tire. Rotate tires at least once every 5,000

miles or as recommended by the tire manufacturer.

Most models have a spare tire available in case of an

emergency.

All vehicles are equipped with tubeless tires. They are

designed for today’s turnpike speeds and are rated to

carry the weight of the trailer plus your family’s personal

needs for an extended vacation. If you should require an

adjustment on a faulty or defective tire, secure the name

of your nearest tire dealer or distributor and request an

adjustment according to the conditions and terms of the

warranty.

Tire Changing

1. Use emergency flares when near a road or highway.

2. Block wheels on the opposite side from the tire you

wish to change to prevent accidental movement.

3. Position a hydraulic jack on the frame close to the

spring hanger.

4. Raise the trailer until the tire clears the ground.

WARNING

CHECK TIRE PRESSURES BEFORE TRAVELING. ALWAYS CHECK TIRE

PRESSURE WHEN TIRES ARE COLD. DO NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM

RECOMMENDED PRESSURE.

The Importance of Proper Tire Inflation

Your trailer tires and wheels, and tongue or fifth-

wheel hitch, support the entire weight of the trailer

and its contents. The tires are also the only contact

the trailer has with the road surface. Determining and

maintaining proper inflation is the most important factor

in maximizing the life of your tires. Driving on a tire that

does not have the correct inflation pressure for the trailer

load is dangerous and may cause premature wear, tire

damage, tread delaminating and/or loss of control of the

trailer and/or tow vehicle.
