E-Z LUBE AXLE
The E-Z Lube feature on your axles provides
the ability for the bearings to be periodically
lubricated without removing the hubs from the
axle. This feature consists of axle spindles that
have been specially drilled and fitted with
grease zerks in their ends. When grease is
pumped into the zerk, it is channeled to the
inner bearing and then flows back to the outer
bearing and eventually back out the grease
cap hole. An operator’s manual is supplied by
the axle OEM that covers the maintenance of
your axles. If you have further questions,
consult with your independent, authorized
dealer and/or visit the manufacturer’s website.
The convenient lubrication provisions of the
E-Z Lube and the oil lubrication must not
replace periodic inspection of the bearings.
Wheel Bearings
Your RV wheel bearings require maintenance
just as any other vehicle wheel bearings. Make
sure you read, understand and follow the axle
OEM operator’s information. If you have
further questions, consult with your RV dealer
and/or visit the OEM website.
RV TIRE INFORMATION
Read and understand the following
before taking your first trip in your
RV!
The tires on your RV are specially constructed
for the unique requirements of recreation
vehicle travel. They are tested under
Department of Transportation (D.O.T.)
standards at the allowed highway speed limits.
Proper care and maintenance of your tires is
essential to ensure your safety, as well as the
safety of others, as you travel. Taking time to
become educated on the special qualities of
RV tires and care they require will enhance
your travel enjoyment. Refer to tire information
supplied with your trailer’s literature.
Routine maintenance on your RV is important,
but it cannot be overstated just how critical
proper tire maintenance is to the safety,
operation and durability of your new RV. For
safe operation and maximum weight carrying
capacity, it is imperative that the tires are
inflated to and maintained at the listed tire
pressures on the Federal Certification label
affixed to the lower front corner of the exterior
roadside sidewall on the RV. You must follow
the manufacturer’s inflation guidelines for
maximum load capacity; under-inflation is just
as dangerous as over-inflation.
To insure your tires are operating safely,
regular inspection of your tires and checking
tire pressures is absolutely mandatory.
Examine your tires frequently for unusual
wear. Alignment, balance and bearing wear

PRE-TRAVEL INFORMATION
It is important that the loading ramps and
any equipment on the front deck is secured
before travel. Failure to properly secure
items to the front deck could lead to
property damage and personal injury.
Failure to follow proper inflation
guidelines may result in tire failure,
which, under certain circumstances can
cause loss of vehicle control or
accidents that may result in property
damage, bodily injury and/or death.
It is recommended that the tire pressure be
checked at the beginning of each journey to
obtain the maximum life of the tire. Follow
the instructions listed on the Federal
Certification label, affixed to the roadside
front corner of your trailer, to determine the
correct tire pressure. Under-inflation may
cause tire failures and swaying. This will
result in loss of control, injury, death or
property damage.
