The following diagram illustrates the travel

To secure the spare tire in the travel position:
Fig. 5.2
Fig. 5.3
1. Put the steel hoist lift support loaded 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 in
the up position or toward the bottom of the
trailer.
2. Insert the crank handle into the hole located
in the center of the rear “bumper.” Turn the
crank handle to lift the tire to the travel
position. Two crisp breaks must be heard
and felt to insure proper seating of the tire
for travel.
Reverse this process to release the spare tire
for usage.

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 lug 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 main frame rail of the trailer
(it spans from front-to-back just inside
the tires).
4. To raise the RV, 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.

Torque is the amount of rotating force
applied to a fastener, such as a lug nut.
Proper torque of lug nuts can only be
achieved by using a properly calibrated
torque wrench and socket. Do not use a 4-
way socket or any other type of wrench that
does not measure the actual pressure
applied to the lug nut.
After your first trip, check the wheel lug
torque periodically for safety. Check the
wheel lugs after winter storage, after a
wheel removal, before starting a trip or
following extensive braking. Use the correct
When replacing a tire make sure to replace
it with a tire of the same size and
specifications (refer to the Federal
Certification label information.)
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.
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.
