Changing a Wheel (where applicable)
• 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 motorhome 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
motorhome. 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.
