Your tires are manufactured with components
that cause “bleeding” onto the tire cover. To
prevent this, it is recommended to use a
separator (garbage bag, paper, cloth, etc.)
between the tire and the cover.

Rear Mount Tire Carrier (if so equipped)
The spare tire is mounted on the rear bumper.
The spare tire bracket can be released and
extended down to access a storage
compartment at the rear of the trailer without
removing the tire.
To remove the tire from the tire carrier
1. Remove the lug nuts holding the tire in
place.
2. Pull the tire from the tire carrier.
To install the tire on the tire carrier
1. Place the tire on the tire carrier.
2. Install the lug nuts.
3. Make sure the lug nuts are tightened
securely before returning to travel.
Under Frame Tire Carrier (if so equipped)
The optional spare tire is transported in a
carrier mounted under the trailer frame. To
operate the spare tire carrier:
Fig. 4.3 Spare tire carrier
1. Remove the hair pin clip securing the front
of the tire carrier to the battery tray tab.
2. Pull the tire carrier hook free from the
battery tray.
3. Lower the tire carrier to access the tire.
4. Unscrew the tire hold down to release the
tire from the tire carrier.
5. Pull the tire off the bolt.
To reinstall the tire, reverse the above
procedures.

Proper torque of lug nuts can only be
achieved by using a properly calibrated
torque wrench and socket.
Do not use a 4-way lug wrench or any other
type of wrench that does not measure the
actual pressure applied to the lug nut.
When replacing a tire make sure to replace
it with a tire of the same size and
specifications (refer to the Federal
Certification label information.)
Check and tighten wheel lug nuts regularly
to make sure they did not loosen during
travel. 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 on the wheels of
your RV must be maintained according to
listed torque values (see
Sec 12;
Wheel
Lug Torque Chart
.) Over-torqued and/or
under-torqued wheels may result in
component failure.
Keep all objects from under the tire carrier
while lowering the front end to avoid
equipment damage.
