While the tire is spring loaded it is still fairly heavy. Use proper lifting technique or get help.
To raise the spare tire back into position, lift the guard over the cable mechanism enough for the catch to clear and allow the tire to be raised. Raise the tire
back up into position, and insert the pin. Flip the retaining spring over the end of the pin to secure it.
To use the spare tire, lower the tire, unlock the chrome surround with the key supplied with your Roadtrek, unbolt the tire from the carrier with your lug
wrench, and lift the tire off the carrier. Follow the Chevrolet manual for instructions on the use of the jack and other tire change procedures. Install the flat tire
on the spare tire carrier and reattach the chrome surround.
Do not attempt to raise an empty tire carrier - if you change the tire, put the flat on the carrier before attempting to raise it. NEVER release the latch on a
tire carrier without a tire on it. The spring will move the arm of the carrier upward with great force and speed.
