Section 4: Vehicle Operation
53
Spare Tire Carrier (if so equipped)
If your recreational 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.
Raising and lowering the hoist
The crank handle to raise and lower the tire will be located (fastened to the sidewall) in a
basement compartment of the recreational vehicle. Insert the crank handle into the crank
access port located either in the center of the rear bumper, or on the sidewall of the RV. Turn
the crank handle to raise/lower the tire. Two “crisp breaks” must be heard and felt to insure
the proper seating of the tire for travel.
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.

NOTE:
If the manual crank access port
is located in a slideout, the slideout room
must be in the travel position to allow the
crank to reach the mechanism used to
raise or lower the tire.
NOTE:
If your spare tire is a flush mount application, it must make
contact with the underside of the recreational vehicle to insure
maximum road clearance and stability in travel. Raising and lowering
