COMPONENT
Tires It is very important to check tires often as
noted in Chapter 3.
Change Tire & To raise coach, place jack (hydraulic or
Wheel screw) underneath main frame rail, which
spans from front to rear, just inside of tires.
Use jack stands or solid-blocking for safe
support. Place jack just ahead of front tire
or just behind rear tire.
You may wish to loosen (only) lug nuts
before raising coach. Remove lug nuts
after tire clears ground.
Brakes It is important to have 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 season's camping trips.
Brake Linings Refer to the manufacturer's owner's
manual for instructions on maintenance
and repair for the brake linings.
NOTE: Canadian transportation laws
require that brake linings be replaced if
there is any cracking for semi-tractors and
trailers only. This does not apply to
recreation vehicles.
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 sport utility
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.
