To secure the spare tire in the travel position:
Fig. 4.3 Fig. 4.4
1. Put the steel hoist lift support located on the end of the cable through the rim
of the tire. The hoist lift support clips need to seat inside the center hole of the
tire rim. The valve stem of the tire MUST be pointed in the up position or
toward the bottom of the trailer.
2. Insert the crank handle into the hole located in the center of the rear
“bumper.” Turn the crank handle to lift the tire to the travel position.
3. Two crisp breaks must be heard and felt to insure proper seating of the tire for
travel.
Reverse this process to release the spare tire for usage.
WARNING
When replacing a tire make sure to replace it with a tire of the same size and
specifications (refer to the Federal Certification label.)
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 spare tire to the travel
position.
