Securing the spare tire
To secure the spare tire in the travel position, 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 up (toward the bottom of the RV).
Bumper Mount:
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 extend the tire down

carrier in place.

trailer.

and lock it in place while traveling.

across the center of the rim (photo).
