SECTION 7
TOWING & HANDLING
72
If you experience a flat tire on your RV while
driving, gradually decrease your vehicle speed
(if possible). Hold the steering wheel firmly and
move the RV 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 Entegra Coach.
If
you have questions regarding your tires,
contact the tire OEM or Entegra Customer
Service.

To lower the spare tire
1. Locate the exterior access hole or hoist
mechanism access.
2. Insert the crank handle (or driving tool)
into the exterior access hole until the
end of the driver comes into contact with
the hoist drive feature. This may be a
hex on the end of a drive extension
tube, or an actuator feature on the end
of the hoist drive shaft.
3. Rotate the crank handle and hoist the
drive shaft in a counter-clockwise
direction until the spare tire is lowered to
the ground.
•
On a “one way” hoist, continue to
rotate the drive handle and the hoist
drive shaft until a resistance stop is
felt. This resistance/positive “down
stop” is designed to stop the winch
when the cable is fully extended. Do
not continue to rotate.
•
On a “two way” hoist the cable will
start to wind back up if rotated past
full out, this will not damage the hoist
but will shorten the amount of cable
extended and usable.
4. Take hold of the wheel/tire and pull it
from under the RV as far as possible.
Stowing the spare tire
To attach the host lift plate to the wheel/tire
assembly:
•
Place the wheel/tire close enough to the
RV for the hoist cable lift plate attached
to reach the center of the wheel/tire.
(Wheel must be positioned so that the
tire valve stem is on the bottom side,
pointing towards the ground.)
•
Fold the cable over the lift plate, if
necessary, and insert through the hole
in the wheel. Make sure that the lift plate
is all the way through the wheel.
•
Pull the wheel/tire rearward, away from
the RV so the hoist cable is taunt/tight,
and the lift plate has the wheel opening
on the steps of the lift plate.
The maximum capacity of the spare tire
hoist is 100 lbs. (tire and wheel).
The spare tire hoist is designed for manual
use with a crank handle (or driving tool)
only. An impact tool should never be used
to operate the spare tire hoist as damage
may result.
When replacing a tire make sure to replace
it with a tire of the same size and
specifications (refer to the Federal
Certification label.)
