WHEEL
LUGS
When the
wheels
are installed
on
your Jayco
the
lug
bolts
must
be
tightened
at
85-95
foot pounds of torque.
Because
of
the possibiIifies
that these wheel lugs could work loose, it
is
recommended that you
check
your
wheel
lugs
after
the
first
50
and
280
miles.
After your
Grst
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
above
recommendations.
The tires
of
all Jayca units are supplied
by
companies with the
recreational vehicle
in
mind and are tested at turnpike speeds.
They are made with nylon cord designed to offer strength and
extra
mileage
in
all
kinds
of
weather.
The air pressure should be
kept
at
its
recommended pressure.
Always
check
the tires when they are cold such as before
traveling
at the beginning of the day.
DO
NOT
release air pressure as
tires
become hot.
If
you do, the tires will then
be
under inflated when
they cool down. It is recommended
that
the tire pressure
be
checked at the beginning
of
each
journey
to obtain the maximum
life
of the tires.

BRAKES
Several models of
fold
down units have hydraulic surge brakes as
standard and others
are
optional. (See specification chart.) These
brakes operate automatically as
the
tow vehicle's brakes
are
applied.
As
the car or tow vehicle
begins
to slow down,
the
trailer
will
push towards
the
car.
The
coupling mechanism at the hitch
contains a brake "pressure plate."
As
the
unit continues to press
forward, the pressure plate becomes depressed,
which
activates
the
brakes.
