MECHANICAL MAINTENANCE CHART
COMPONENT MAINTENANCE AVOID
Wheel Bearings
Exposure to any water or con-
densation will cause the bear-
ings to rust and be damaged.
Never let the bearings run dry.
Never overpack the wheel bear-
ing, especially in the middle of
the hub. It will trap heat and
possibly disperse grease from
the seals or dust cap.
The wheel bearings in your new
Jayco travel trailer are pre-
greased. It is recommended that
you repack these bearings at
12,000 miles (19,000 kilome-
ters) or at the end of each
season’s camping to prepare for
the winter months ahead.
Use only a multipurpose No. 1
or 2 good quality wheel bearing
grease.
If the bearing or cone (race)
become pitted, replace any
damaged part.
NOTE: Should you be
concerned about heat in the
wheel bearings, check them
occasionally while traveling by
placing your hand on the 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 the break-in
period (first 500 miles) (800
kilometers) your hubs may feel
extra warm due to brake shoes
setting in with the brake drum.
