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 lugs
should
then
be
checked after whter storage, before starting a trip, or
following extensive braking. Over-tightening can distort wheel.
Please observe above recommendations.
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.

RAKES
Several models of fold down units have hydraulic surge brakes
as
standard
and
others are optional. (See
specification
chart.) These
brakes operate automaticalty
as.
the tow vehicle's brakes
are
applied.
As
the
car
or tow vehicle begins to
slow
down,
the
trailer
will
push towards
tbe
car.
The
coupling mechanism
at
the hitch
contains a brake "pressure plate."
AS
the unit continues
to
press
forward, the pressure pIate becomes depressed, which activates
the brakes.
