Wheel Lugs

When the wheels are installed on your Jayco park trailer, the lug nuts must be tightened at 90-120
foot pounds of torque. Size of bolts or nuts is 13/16".
I
WARNING: Wheel lugs must be checked at 25 miles when new, then every 3,000
miles. The wheel lugs must then be checked after winter storage, before starting a trip,
or following extensive braking. Over-torquing wheels is as dangerous as
under-torquing. Read and understand all information supplied by the manufacturer.

Brakes

A controller should be installed below the dashboard of your tow vehicle to work in conjunction
with the park trailer brakes. Two types of controllers are available. The "hydraulic" controller
operates through a steel line attached to the master cylinder of the tow vehicle's brake system. The
"electronic" controller, operates using electrical current. Reference the operating instructions
provided with the controller for adjustment and operation procedures. Practice coordinating the
trailer brakes with the tow vehicle brakes before towing your vehicle at higher speeds or significant
distances. Employing the trailer brakes before the tow vehicle brakes will reduce swaying.

Electric

Electric brakes on your park trailer are designed to work in conjunction with the hydraulic brakes on
your tow vehicle. This means that in order to have the best brake performance on both systems, the
trailer and tow vehicle must perform and operate together. Any attempt to use either brake system
alone will cause accelerated wear and damage.
The battery in the tow vehicle is the primary power source that operates the brakes in your park
trailer. Keep your battery and charging system in working operation to ensure available energy
when required.
From the battery, power is sent to the controller to provide the correct amount of current to brake the
park trailer. Use the tow vehicle's brake pedal control for general operation on combined use of both
brake systems. The controller's manual control is to be used only in special situations such as
indicated in the instructions supplied with control. In the open position, the manual control breaks
