WHEEL LUGS
When the wheels are installed on your Jayco travel trailer, the lug nuts must be tightened
at 90-120 foot pounds of torque.
WARNING:
Axles on travel trailers do not drive or steer like automobile
axles. The motion involved in being “trailered” adds stress that can loosen lug
nuts, especially during the break in period. Wheel lugs can work loose. Check
and tighten wheel lugs every 10 miles, 25 miles and 50 miles (15, 40 and 100
kilometers) when the camping trailer is new or a tire is changed, and then
check and tighten after periods of extensive braking (such as coming down a
steep grade) and every 3,000 miles (5000 kilometers).
After your first trip, check the wheel lugs periodically for safety. The wheel lugs should
then be checked after winter storage, before starting a trip or following extensive braking.
Size of bolts or nuts is 13/16".
Over torquing wheels is as dangerous as under
torquing.
FIRE EXTINGUISHER
A fire extinguisher is installed near the entrance door in the travel trailer. Be familiar with
its location and operating instructions as printed on the extinguisher. It is too late to
become familiar with an extinguisher when an emergency is at hand.
The fire extinguisher is a dry chemical, non-refillable extinguisher. Do not test this
extinguisher. Doing so will cause loss of pressure making the extinguisher unusable. The
extinguisher must be discarded and replaced by a new one if any use has occurred.
BRAKES
A controller should be installed below the dashboard of your tow vehicle to work in
conjunction with the travel trailer brakes. Two types of controllers are available. The
“hydraulic” controller operates through a steel line attached to the master cylinder of the
tow vehicle’s brake system. The “electronic” controller, operates using electrical current.
Reference the operating instructions provided with the controller for adjustment and
operation procedures.
Electrical
The electric brakes on your travel trailer are designed to work in conjunction with the
hydraulic brakes on your tow vehicle. To have the best brake performance on both
systems, the travel trailer and tow vehicle must perform and operate together. Any
attempt to use either brake system alone will cause accelerated wear and damage.
The battery in the tow vehicle is the primary power source that operates the brakes in
your travel trailer. Keep your battery and charging system in working operation to ensure
available energy when required.
