Lug bolts must
be
checked
at
50
and
200
miles when
your coach is new. After
this, lug bolts
should be
periodically checked for
safety, especially before any
long trip and extensive
braking.
Tighten lug bolts to
85-95
ft.
pounds torque using a
cross tighten sequence of
1-3-2-4.
Use a small quantity of
grease on moving mechan-
ism
to insure ease of opera-
tion.
On
coaches with surge
hydraulic brakes, there is
no lubrication needed on
coupler assembly.
We recommended that you
use conventional grease on
the ball of hitch for
ease
of
operation.
Lubricate the jack by ex-
tending to
full
down posi-
tion and
insert
SAE
30
oil
through oil
hole
in top of
jack. Do this several times
per season.
It
is
very important to check
tires often
as
noted
on
page
12
of Chapter
111.
