Section 4: Vehicle Operation

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.
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 bot-
tom of the RV).
