4. To raise the recreation vehicle, 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.
Replacement
If you experience a flat tire on your recreation vehicle while driving, gradually decrease
your vehicle speed (if possible). Hold the steering wheel firmly and move the recreation
vehicle to a safe place on the side of the road.
Any service or warranty coverage on tires is to be handled by the tire store representing the
brand installed on your RV. They are not to be returned to your dealer or Jayco.
If you have questions regarding your tires, contact the tire manufacturer or Jayco
Customer Service.

If your recreation vehicle is equipped with a spare tire, it will either be mounted under the
unit (hoist) or on the rear bumper.
Hoist mount
Depending on your model, the spare tire may have (side or bottom) brackets or it will be
mounted against the underside of the recreation vehicle (flush mount) to give it stability in
travel.

NOTE: If your spare tire is a flush mount application, it must make contact with the
underside of the recreation vehicle to insure maximum road clearance and stability in
travel.
WARNING
Be sure to use only tires that are rated for recreation vehicle use. The use of
passenger tires should be avoided. The load rating/range embossed on the sidewall of
passenger tires must be de-rated accordingly; they do not have the same load
capability as tires that are specifically identified for recreation vehicle use. Failure to
use tires that are properly matched to your recreation vehicle could lead to premature
tire wear or less than optimum trailer handling.
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.
