Change Tire
& Wheel
To raise coach, place jack
(hydraulic or screw) underneath
main frame rail, which spans
from front to rear, just inside of
tires. Use jack stands or solid-
blocking for safe support. Place
jack just ahead of front tire or
just behind rear tire.
You may wish to loosen (only)
lug nuts before raising coach.
Remove lug nuts after tire
clears ground.
Never raise the travel trailer by
placing the jack under the axle
beam, springs or any attach-
ment parts.
Brakes
It is important to have brakes
adjusted between 200-1,000
miles (320-1600 kilometers)
after initial break-in period by a
qualified technician. This
operation may or may not be
included as part of selling price.
After the initial break-in period,
you should adjust the brakes
after each 3,000 miles (4,800
kilometers) or at the beginning
of each season’s camping trips.
It is very important to keep
brakes adjusted. Poorly adjusted
brakes will not function
correctly. Under adjustment can
cause an adjuster wheel to fall
out.
Brake Linings
Refer to the manufacturer’s
owner’s manual for instruc-
tions on maintenance and re-
pair for the brake linings.
NOTE: Canadian transpor-
tation laws require that brake
linings be replaced if there
is any cracking for semi-trac-
tor and trailers only. This
does not apply to recreation
vehicles.
