Wheel Lugs
When the wheels are installed on your Jayco travel trailer, the lug nuts must be tightened
at 50-75 foot pounds of torque.
WARNING:
Wheel lugs should be checked at 10, 25 & 50 miles when new,
then every 3,000 miles. 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.
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.
Electric
Electric brakes on your recreation vehicle are designed to work in conjunction with the
hydraulic brakes on your tow vehicle. This means that in order to have the best brake
performance on both systems, the 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.
From the battery, power is sent to the controller to provide the correct amount of current
to brake the travel trailer. Use the tow vehicle’s brake pedal control for general operation
on combined use of both brake systems. The controller’s manual control is to be used
only in special situations such as indicated in the instructions supplied with control. In
the open position, the manual control breaks the electrical current preventing brake
engagement. When in the closed position, electrical current will flow to brake assemblies.
Wiring to operate your brakes must be sized in both vehicles, suggesting a minimum of
14 gauge. Your camper has 14 gauge wire from front end to brakes.
Brake assemblies are wired in parallel, never in a series. Being parallel, there will be
equal voltage and amperage at each brake assembly for equal braking capability and/or
performance.
WHEN YOUR TRAVEL TRAILER IS NEW IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO ADJUST
YOUR BRAKE SHOE PRECISELY. IT TAKES APPROXIMATELY 1,000 MILES
AND/OR 50 MEDIUM TO HEAVY STOPS TO “BURNISH” FIT OR SEAT THE
SHOES TO DRUM. AFTER THIS INITIAL BREAK-IN, YOU CAN NOW AD-
JUST YOUR SHOES ACCURATELY FOR BEST PERFORMANCE AND
INCREASED DURABILITY.
