WHEEL LUGS
Your Qwest folding camping trailer is equipped with 12" or 13" tires depending on which
model you own. When the wheels are installed on your trailer, the lug nuts must be
tightened according to the following specifications:
12"
85-95 foot pounds of torque
13"
50-75 foot pounds of torque
WARNING:
Axles on camping trailers do not drive or steer as automobile
axles do. The motions 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 breaking
(such as coming down a steep grade) and every 3000 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.
Over-tightening can distort wheel. Please observe the above recommendations for your
safety and that of others. Size of lug nuts are 1/2" with 13/16" head.
BRAKES
A controller should be installed below the dashboard of your tow vehicle to work in
conjunction with the folding camping trailer brakes. Two types of controllers are avail-
able. 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 folding camping 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 folding camping 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.
