Changing a Wheel
• Remove wheel trims. Use the wheel brace to slacken off
wheel nuts on the wheel to be changed.
• Position the jack under the axle or at the appropriate
jacking point.
• Jack up motor home until the wheel for removal is just
off the ground.
• Remove wheel nuts and wheel.
• Fit the spare wheel (located in the carrier) and reverse
the above procedure.
• Tighten all nuts equally.
Note:
Never, under any circumstances, use the corner steadies to
jack up the motor home. Instead, use a bottle jack, scissor or
air jack under the axle tube as near as possible to the main
chassis member.
Alloy Wheels
It is vitally important that when you get replacement tyres
fitted to your vehicle the valves that are used are capable of
withstanding the high pressures associated with motorhome
tyres. Usually only ‘bolt through’ steel type valves can
withstand the pressures associated with motorhome tyres.
Your vehicle may be fitted with alloy road wheels but a
steel spare wheel. Please note that the steel spare
wheel will require different wheel nuts (supplied with vehicle)
to the ones used to fit the alloy wheels, these cannot be
interchanged.
Note
: Check and observe site regulations.
