Lug bolts must be checked
at
SO
and
200
miles
when
your coach is new. After
this, lug boIts 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
fox:
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

of Chapter
111.
