The following diagram illustrates the travel
position of the spare tire (the spare tire must
contact the brackets as shown).
Fig. 5.1 Spare tire travel position
To secure the spare tire in the travel position:
Fig. 5.2
Fig. 5.3
1. Put the steel hoist lift support loaded on
the end of the cable through the rim of the
tire. The hoist lift support clips need to
seat inside the center hole of the tire rim.
The valve stem of the tire MUST be
pointed in the up position or toward the
bottom of the trailer.
2. Insert the crank handle into the hole
located in the center of the rear “bumper.”
Turn the crank handle to lift the tire to the
travel position. Two crisp breaks must be
heard and felt to insure proper seating of
the tire for travel.
Reverse this process to release the spare tire
for usage.
DO NOT exceed the maximum load
capacities of 100 lbs. for the hoist. DO
NOT use air driven guns or impact
wrenches to lift the spare tire to the travel
position.

1. Keep the RV attached to the tow vehicle.
Block the tire on the opposite side of the
RV from the tire you are changing.
2. Loosen the wheel lug on the tire you are
changing before jacking up the RV. DO
NOT remove the lug nuts; only loosen
them for ease of removal when the tire is
off the ground.
3. Locate the main frame rail of the trailer (it
spans from front-to-back just inside the
tires).
4. To raise the RV, place the jack (hydraulic
or screw) under the main frame rail. It
must be just ahead of the front tire or just
behind the rear tire.

Torque is the amount of rotating force applied
to a fastener, such as a lug nut. Proper torque
of lug nuts can only be achieved by using a
properly calibrated torque wrench and socket.
Do not use a 4-way socket or any other type
of wrench that does not measure the actual
pressure applied to the lug nut.
After your first trip, check the wheel lug torque
periodically for safety. Check the wheel lugs
after winter storage, after a wheel removal,
before starting a trip or following extensive
braking. Use the correct star pattern
sequence to attach the RV wheels (see
Wheel Lug Torque Chart
.)
When replacing a tire make sure to replace
it with a tire of the same size and
specifications (refer to the Federal
Certification label information.)
Never raise the RV by placing the jack
under the axle, springs or any attachment
parts. Failure to comply could result in
property damage, personal injury or death.
