1. Keep the recreational vehicle attached to the tow vehicle. Block the tire on the opposite
side of the recreational vehicle from the tire you are changing.
2. Loosen the wheel lug on the tire you are changing before jacking up the vehicle. DO
NOT remove the lug nuts; only loosen them for ease of removal when the tire is off
the ground.
3. Locate the main frame rail of the trailer (it spans from front-to-back just inside the
tires).
4. To raise the recreation vehicle, place the jack (hydraulic or screw) under the main frame
rail. It must be just ahead of the front tire or just behind the rear tire.
