maintenance free as
possible.
However, maintenance
is
important to retain its original
production
as
near
new
as possible.
Proper
maintenance
will
give
you
many more trouble-free miles.

Wheel
Bearings
-
The wheel bearings
in
your
new Jayco travel trailer
or
fifth
wheel coach are pre-
greased. It is recommended
that you repack these bear-
ings
at
5000
miles or at the
end
of each season's camping
to prepare for winter months
ahead.
Be
sure
to
use
only
a
multi-purpose No.

good
quality wheel bearing
grease.
If
bearing or cone (race)
become pitted, please re-
glace
any
damaged
part.
NOTE:
Should
you
be
concerned about heat in
wheel bearings, check
them
occasionally
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.
AVOID
(a*)
Exposure to
any water
or
condensation
will cause bear-
ings
to
rust
and
be damaged.
(b.)
Never let
bearings run
dry.
(c.) Never over-
pack wheel
bearing,
especially
in
the
middle of hub.
It
will trap heat
if
overpacked.
