MAINTENANCE CHART

MAINTENANCE
The wheel bearings in your
new Jayco tent camper are
pre-greased. It is recom-
mended that you repack these
bearings at 12,000 miles or at
the end of each season's
camping to prepare for winter
months ahead.
Use only a multipurpose No.
1 or 2 good quality wheel
bearing grease.
If bearing or cone (race)
become pitted, replace any
damaged part.
NOTE: Should you be
concerned about heat in wheel
bearings, check
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.
NOTE: During break-in
period (first 500 miles) your
hubs may feel extra warm due
to brake shoes setting in with
the brake drum.
Lug bolts must be checked at
10, 25, and 50 miles when new
or after tire removal, then every
3,000 miles. After this, lug
bolts should be periodically
checked for safety, especially
before any long trip and
extensive braking or a tire
change.
Tighten lug bolts to specified
torque using a cross tighten
sequence.
See "Changing the Tire &
Wheel" section of Chapter 7.
