Spare Tire (Option)
The following procedures should be used in securing the spare tire in the travel position:
1. Put the steel hoist lift support at the end of the cable through the rim of the tire.
a. The clips need to be seated inside the hole of the rim.
b. The tire valve stem MUST be pointed in the down position (away from the bottom of
the trailer) (Fig. 30). The hoist will not seat the tire correctly if the valve stem is
toward the trailer. (Fig. 31)
2. Use the crank handle to lift the tire into the travel position. Two crisp breaks must be
heard and felt to insure proper seating of the tire for travel.
The tire must be in contact with the tire contact surface to be in the travel position.
I
WARNING: 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 tire
into travel position.
EXTERIOR
Metal
Your trailer has an improved smooth metal with a new polyester automotive paint finish.
This metal surface may be cleaned and polished as you would your automobile.
Rubber Roof
CAUTION: All roofs require routine maintenance. At least once per year, inspect
and reseal all seams: front and rear, around all vents, and along all moldings.
Failure to properly maintain the unit’s seals may cause leaks and it voids the
warranty.
The rubber roof on your trailer is manufactured by Alpha Systems. They have supplied
instructions with your trailer to take care of your roof. Make sure you read and follow these
instructions when working on your roof. If you have questions, consult with your
independent, authorized dealer and/or visit the manufacturer’s website at
www.alphasystemsinc.com .
