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 only
a
multi-
purpose No.
1
or

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 extremely
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.
(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.

trap heat
if
overpacked.
