damage, bodily injury and/or death.
It is recommended that the tire pressure be
checked at the beginning of each journey
to obtain the maximum life of the tire.
Follow the instructions listed on the Federal
Certification label, affixed to the roadside
front corner of your trailer, to determine the
correct tire pressure. Under-inflation may
cause tire failures and swaying; this may
result in loss of control, injury, death or
property damage.
Read and understand the following before
taking your first trip in your park trailer!
Proper care and maintenance of your tires is
essential to ensure your safety, as well as the
safety of others, as you travel. Taking time to
become educated on the special qualities of
park trailer tires and care they require will
enhance your travel enjoyment.
Routine maintenance on your park trailer is
important, but it cannot be overstated just
how critical proper tire maintenance is to the
safety, operation and durability of your new
park
trailer.

as dangerous as over-inflation. To insure your
tires are operating safely, regular inspection
of your tires and checking tire pressures is
absolutely mandatory.
Examine your tires frequently for unusual
wear. Alignment, balance and bearing wear
will affect tire wear. Make sure to look for
cracking, bulging, uneven tread wear, etc.
Check and adjust tire pressures before and
after each trip. Always check and adjust with
the tires cold. Never add or release pressure

Replacement
Be sure to use only tires that are rated for
park trailer use. The use of passenger tires
should be avoided. The load rating/range
embossed on the sidewall of passenger
tires must be de-rated accordingly; they do
not have the same load capability as tires
that are specifically identified for park trailer
use. Failure to use tires that are properly
matched to your recreation vehicle could
lead to premature tire wear or less than
optimum trailer handling.
When replacing a tire make sure to replace
it with a tire of the same size and
specifications
(refer
Certification label.)
If you experience a flat tire on your park trailer
while driving, gradually decrease your vehicle
speed (if possible). Hold the steering wheel
firmly and move the park trailer to a safe
place on the side of the road. Any service or
warranty coverage on tires is to be handled
by the tire store representing the brand
installed on your park trailer; they are not to
be returned to your dealer or Jayco. If you
have
questions
regarding
contact the tire OEM or Jayco Customer
Service.
