MECHANICAL MAINTENANCE CHART - TRAVEL

COMPONENT
Tires
It is very important to check tires often.
Change Tire & To raise the trailer, place a jack (hydraulic
Wheel or screw) underneath the main frame rail,
which spans from front to rear, just inside
of tires. Use jack stands or solid-blocking
for safe support. Place the jack just ahead
of the front tire or just behind the rear tire.
You may wish to only loosen the lug nuts
before raising the trailer. Remove the lug
nuts after the tire clears the ground.
Brakes It is important to have the brakes adjusted
between 200-1,000 miles (320-1600
kilometers) after initial break-in period by
a qualified technician. This operation may
or may not be included as part of selling
price.
After the initial break-in period, you
should adjust the brakes after each 3,000
miles (4,800 kilometers) or at the
beginning of each trip.
Coupler Use a small quantity of lubricant on the
moving mechanism and all points of
movement in the actuator to insure ease of
operation.
Use conventional grease on the hitch ball
for ease of operation.
Tongue Jack Lubricate the jack by extending to full
down position and insert SAE 30 oil
through oil hole in top of jack. Do this
several times per season.

MAINTENANCE AVOID
DO NOT ignore checking tire
pressures often.
Never raise the park trailer by
placing the jack under the axle
beam, springs or any
attachment parts.
It is very important to keep
brakes adjusted. Poorly
adjusted brakes will not
function correctly. Under
adjustment can cause an
adjuster wheel to fall out.
