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
possibilities that these wheel lugs could work loose, it is
recommended that
you
check
your
wheel lugs after the first
50
and
200
miles. After your first trip, check the wheel lugs periodically
for safety. The wheel jugs should then be checked after winter
storage, before statting a trip, 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.
AIways 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
10
slow dow.n, 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.
