MAINTENANCE
Your new Jayco coach is designed to hold maintenance as low as
possible. However, maintenance is important
to
retain its original
production
as
nearly new as possible.
COMPENENT MAINTENANCE
AVOID
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
2
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.
It
will trap heat
if
overpacked.
