When the wheels are installed on your Jayco the Iug 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
afier 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
winter
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.
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 automatical'ty as the tow vehicle's brakes are
applied.
As
the car or
tow
vehicle begins to slow down, 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.
