Section 4: Vehicle Operation
Raising and lowering the hoist
The crank handle to raise and lower the tire will be located (fastened to the sidewall) in a
basement compartment of the recreational vehicle. Insert the crank handle into the crank
access port located either in the center of the rear bumper, or on the sidewall of the RV. Turn
the crank handle to raise/lower the tire. Two “crisp breaks” must be heard and felt to insure
the proper seating of the tire for travel.
Securing the spare tire
To secure the spare tire in the travel position, put the steel hoist lift support located 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 up (toward the
bottom of the RV).
Bumper Mount
The spare tire bracket can be released and extended down to access a storage compartment
at the rear of the trailer without removing the tire.
To extend the tire down
1. Remove the cotter key from the pin holding the tire
carrier in place.
2. Remove the pin and extend the carrier away from the
trailer.
Always return the tire carrier to the upright position and
lock it in place while traveling.
To remove the tire from the tire carrier
NOTE:
If your spare tire is a flush mount application, it must make contact
with the underside of the recreational vehicle to insure maximum road clear
-
ance and stability in travel.
Crank Access Port
NOTE:
If the manual crank access port is
located in a slideout, the slideout room must be in
the travel position to allow the crank to reach the
mechanism used to raise or lower the tire.
