JAYCO TOWABLE SECTION 4-TOWING & SET-UP
Check and re-torque after the first 10, 25 and 50 miles (16, 40 and 80 kilometers).
Thereafter, check and maintain the torque according to the listed torque values (see
Wheel Lug Torque Chart.)

NOTE: The proper method of tightening wheel lug nuts is with a properly calibrated
torque wrench and socket, not with an impact wrench or by hand. Do not use a 4-way lug
wrench or any other type of wrench that does not measure the actual pressure applied to
the lug nut.
Because of the importance of having proper torque on the wheel lug nuts, you should
always have the wheels mounted and properly torqued by a qualified technician using the
proper tools.
TIRES
Read and understand the following before taking your first trip in your RV!
Proper care and maintenance of your tires is essential to ensure your safety, as well as the
safety of others, as you travel.
Routine maintenance on your recreation vehicle is important, but it cannot be overstated
just how critical proper tire maintenance is to the safety, operation and durability of your
new vehicle.
You must follow the manufacturer’s inflation guidelines for maximum load capacity;
under-inflation is just as dangerous as over-inflation.
To insure your tires are operating safely, regular inspection of your tires and
checking tire pressures is absolutely mandatory.
When you are using your vehicle, check inflation pressure weekly to insure maximum tire
life and travel wear. Pressure should be checked when the tires are cold. During travel,
tires heat up and pressure increases.
WARNING
It is recommended that the tire pressure be checked at the beginning of each trip to
obtain the maximum life of the tire. Follow the instructions listed on the Federal
Certification label, affixed to the roadside front corner of your trailer, to determine
the correct tire pressure. Under-inflation may cause tire failures and swaying; this
may result in loss of control, injury, death or property damage.
DANGER
Failure to follow proper inflation guidelines may result in tire failure, which,
under certain circumstances can cause loss of vehicle control or accidents that
may result in property damage, bodily injury and/or death.
CAUTION
Tire wear should be checked frequently. Once a wear pattern becomes firmly
established in a tire it is difficult to stop, even if the underlying cause is
corrected.
