SECTION 5
RV TIRES
38
The following procedures should be used for
securing the spare tire in the travel position:
Fig. 5.1 Spare tire – correct installation
Fig. 5.2 Spare tire – incorrect installation
1. Put the steel hoist lift support located on
the end of the cable through the rim of the
tire.
a. The clips need to seat inside of the
hole.
b. The tire valve stem MUST be pointed
in the down position (away from the
bottom of the RV). The hoist will not
seat tire correctly if the valve stem is
toward the RV.
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.

1. Block the tire on the opposite side of the
RV from the tire you are changing.
2. Loosen the wheel lug on the tire you are
changing before jacking up the RV. DO
NOT remove the lug nuts; only loosen
them for ease of removal when the tire is
off the ground.
3. Locate the main frame rail of the
motorhome (it spans from the front-to-
back just inside the tires).
4. To raise the RV, place the jack (hydraulic
or screw) under the main frame rail. It
must be just ahead of the front tire or just
behind the rear tire.

Torque is the amount of rotating force applied
to a fastener, such as a lug nut. Proper torque
of lug nuts can only be achieved by using a
properly calibrated torque wrench and socket.
Do not use a 4-way socket or any other type
of wrench that does not measure the actual
pressure applied to the lug nut.
Do not use the hydraulic leveling jacks (if
so equipped) to raise the RV when
changing a tire. The hydraulic leveling jack
system is not designed for this type of use;
doing so could result in property damage,
personal injury or death.
Never raise the RV by placing the jack
under the axle, springs or any attachment
parts. Failure to comply could result in
property damage, personal injury or death.
Wheel lug nuts must be applied and
maintained at the proper torque levels to
prevent loose wheels, broken studs and
possible separation of the wheel(s) from
your trailer. The lug nuts must be
maintained according to your Chassis
Guide torque recommendations. Over-
torqued and/or under-torqued wheels may
result in component failure.
