Bearings
-
The wheel bearings in your
new Jayco travel trailer or
fifth wheel coach are pre-
greased. It is recommended
that you repack these bear-
ings at 5000 miles or at the
end of each season's camping
to prepare for winter months
ahead.
Be sure to use only a
multi-purpose No. 1 or 2
good quality wheel bearing
grease.
If bearing or cone (race)
become pitted, please re-
glace
any
damaged part.
NOTE:
Should you be
concerned about heat in
wheel bearings, check them
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.
AVOID
(a*) Exposure to
any water or
condensation
will cause bear-
ings to rust and
be damaged.
(b.) Never let
bearings run
dry.
(c.) Never over-
pack wheel
bearing,
especially in the
middle of hub. It
will trap heat if
overpacked.
