MAINTENANCE
The wheel bearings in your new
Jayco travel trailer are pre-
greased. It is recommended that
you repack these bearings at
12,000 miles or at the end of
each season's camping to pre-
pare for the winter months
ahead.
Use only a multipurpose No. 1
or 2 good quality wheel bearing
grease.
If the bearing or cone (race)
become pitted, replace any
damaged part.
NOTE:
Should
concerned about heat in the
wheel bearings, check them
occasionally while traveling by
placing your hand on the 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 the break-in
period (first 500 miles) your
hubs may feel extra warm due
to brake shoes setting in with
the brake drum.

AVOID
Exposure to any water or con-
densation will cause the bear-
ings to rust and be damaged.
Never let the bearings run dry.
Never overpack the wheel bear-
ing, especially in the middle of
the hub. It will trap heat and
possibly disperse grease from
the seals or dust cap.
