SECTION 7
TOWING & HANDLING
73
To raise & stow the wheel/tire assembly:
•
Insert the crank handle (or driving tool) into
the exterior hole or hoist mechanism
access, and push it in until it is engaged in
the driving feature of the hoist. (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.)
•
Rotate the crank handle (or drive tool)
clockwise until the wheel/tire assembly is
pulled up under the RV and is pulled up
against the bottom of the RV.
•
Continue to rotate in a clockwise direction
until at least two crisp breaks are felt or until
clicks are heard. This “stows” the wheel/tire
by forcing the hoist clutch through an
“overload” condition.
•
This has now raised the wheel/tire up under
the RV and “stowed” it with the proper force
to hold the wheel/tire assembly in place
during RV use. Always check the wheel/tire
assembly for looseness by pushing against
or shaking it from underneath. The hoist can
not be over tightened.
Please refer to the spare tire stowing diagrams
found in the “Specifications and Glossary”
section of this manual.
Maintenance
Periodically check and pack the hoist assembly
with rust preventive grease.

You may want to raise your RV with a jack to
change a tire, adjust the brakes or repack the
wheel bearings. Please use the following
guidelines:
1. Keep the RV attached to the tow
vehicle. Block the tire on the opposite
side of the RV from the tire you are
changing.
2. Loosen the wheel lugs on the tire you
are changing before jacking up the RV.
DO NOT remove the lug nuts; only
loosen them for ease of removal when
the tire is off the ground.
3. Locate the bottom of the main frame
(above the one inch (1”) trim molding
which seams the black wrap metal and
the galvanized underbelly metal).
4. To raise the RV, place the jack
(hydraulic or screw) on the bottom of the
main frame directly behind the tire on
the side you wish to jack up.
Damage to the RV caused by using a jack is
not warrantable.
Never raise the RV by placing the jack
under the axle, springs or any attachment
parts. Failure to comply could result in
property damage, personal injury or death.
