Tires; Inflation; Wheel Lugs - Jayco 2004 Talon ZX Owner's Manual

TIRES

All Jayco towable sport utility trailers are equipped with name brand tires, designed and built for
recreation vehicles. Tires are radial in design, having two steel cords and two polyester cords,
offering excellent strength and mileage in various types of weather.
The air pressure must be maintained at its recommended pressure. Always check the tires when they
are cold, such as before traveling at the beginning of the day. It is normal for air pressure to increase
when traveling as tires will heat up. Do not release air pressure as tires become hot. If you do, the
tires will then be under-inflated when they cool down.
I
WARNING: It is recommended that the tire pressure be checked at the beginning of
each journey to obtain the maximum life of the tires. Follow the instructions of the tire
manufacturer to determine the correct tire pressure. Underinflation may cause tire
failure or swaying and loss of control resulting in injury, death, or property damage.

Inflation

Always follow inflation guidelines printed on sidewall of tire.
NOTE: Tires are warranted by the manufacturer of their respective brand, and are to be
serviced and warranted by a service center. They are not to be returned to the dealer
or Jayco.
For tire removal and raising sport utility trailer, see Chapter 7, Maintenance.

Wheel Lugs

I
WARNING: Wheel lug nuts must be applied and maintained at the proper torque
levels to prevent loose wheels, broken studs, and possible separation of the wheel(s)
from your trailer. The lug nuts on the wheels of your Jayco trailer must be maintained
according to the torque values listed in the chart contained in this section. Over
torquing wheels is as dangerous as under torquing
I
WARNING: The motion involved in being towed, especially during the break-in
period, can cause wheel lug nuts to loosen. Wheel lug nuts should be torqued before
the first road use and after each wheel removal or installation. Check and re-torque
after the first 10, 25 and 50 miles (16, 40 and 80 kilometers). Thereafter, check and
maintain the torque as defined in this section.
