CHAPTER

MAINTENANCE
Your new Jayco coach is designed to hold maintenance as low as
possible. However, maintenance is important to retain its original
production as nearly new as possible.
Wheel
Bearings
The wheel bearings
in
your
new Jayco tent camper are
pregreased.
It
is recom-
mended that you repack
these bearings at
5,000
miles
or
at the end of each
season's camping
to
pre-
pare for winter months
ahead.
Be
sure to use ofily a multi-
purpose No.
1
or 2 good
quality wheel bearing
grease.
If
bearing
or
cone (race)
become pitted, please re-
place any damaged part.
Note:
Should
you
be con-
cerned about heat in wheel
bearings, check
them
occa-
sionally
while traveling by
placing hand
on hub. You
will
be
able to hold your
hand momentarily
on
the
hub.
Should it be
extremefy hot,
it is recommended to have
the bearings inspected by a
qualified service center.
Note: During break-in per-
iod (first
500
miles)
your
hubs may feel extra warm
due
to
brake
shoes setting
in
with the brake drum.
AVOID
(a.)
Exposure
to any water or
condensation
will cause bear-
ings to rust and
be
damaged.
(b.) Never let
bearings
run
dry.
(c.)
Never
overpack wheel
bearings, espe-
cially in the
middle
of
hub.
It will trap heat
if
overpacked.
