WHEEL
LUGS
When the wheels are instailed on your Jayco the
lug
bolts
must
be
tightened at
85-95
foot pounds of torque. Because of the
possibilities that these
wheel
lugs could work loose, it
is
recommended that you check your wheel lugs after the first
SO
and
200
miles. After
your
first
trip,
check the wheel lugs periodically
for safety. The wheel lugs should then be checked
after
winter
storage, before starting
a
ttip, or following
extensive
braking.
The tires of all Jayco 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.

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.
