blasting effect on the painted surface. For these reasons it is necessary to inspect, clean and
repaint the steel members to prevent excessive rust and insure a longer life of the frame on a
routine basis.
Spare Tire Carrier
The following procedures should be used for securing the spare tire in the travel position:
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 motorhome). The hoist will not seat tire correctly if the valve stem is toward
the motorhome.
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.
I
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
tire into the travel position.
FRONT AXLE ALIGNMENT
The term alignment refers to both the adjustment angles on the steering axle and
suspension and tracking of the rear axle. Many factors are considered when establishing
proper alignment. Steering components, suspension, wheel bearings and even proper
loading will affect your motorhome alignment. To ensure accuracy, your motorhome
alignment was verified at our manufacturing facility before shipment to your independent,
authorized dealer.
Jayco recommends that you have the front suspension and steering alignment checked and
adjusted after you have fully loaded the vehicle. In addition, you should read, understand
and follow any instructions from the chassis manufacturer, including anything discussed in
documents provided by the chassis manufacturer. As part of normal maintenance, it is your
responsibility to have the alignment inspected periodically to maintain vehicle steering
performance and prevent uneven tire wear.
Always have the alignment checked and
adjusted by a qualified shop with the proper equipment to handle heavy vehicles.
