Lubrication Maintenance Safety - Monaco 2009 Knight Owner's Manual

Wheels are generally set with initial toe-in.
As the motorhome operates tires tend toward
a toe-out condition. By starting with an initial
toe-in setting, a desirable "near zero toe-in"
can be achieved when the motorhome is in
motion.
Incorrect toe settings, where toed-in or toed-
out, can have a significant affect on tire wear.
The toe setting is adjusted by lengthening or
shortening the cross tube.
Caster Adjustments:
Caster is the fore and aft tilt (toward the
front or rear of the motorhome) of the steering
kingpin as viewed from the side of the
motorhome.
"Positive" caster is the tilt of the top end of
the kingpin toward the rear of the motorhome.
"Negative" caster is the tilt of the top end of
the kingpin toward the front of the motorhome.

NotE: Motorhome must be at ride height for proper alignment.
Setting the caster angle more positive than
specified may result in excess steering effort
and/or shimmy. Decreasing the angle may

result in the motorhome wandering or poor
steering return to center. The caster angle is
determined by the installed position of the
steer axle.

Lubrication Maintenance Safety

The front axle components require periodic
lubrication maintenance. Chock wheels
for safety prior to accessing components
underneath the motorhome.
WARNING
DO NOT allow anyone under the
motorhome without first properly
blocking frame (jackstands) from
coming down in case of rapid deflation
of air system.
NOTE
Suspension and steering components
are lubricated at factory using a NLGI
2 Lithium Soap based grease.
