Changing Tire
Turn on tow vehicle hazard warning flashers. Set emergency break. If close
to moving vehicles, set up flares or warning lights. Chock opposite tire and
leave trailer hitched to tow vehicle. Set main tongue jack to stabilize front
end.
Remove Spare Tire
The spare tire is located behind the custom formed fiberglass spare tire shell.
Removing it takes a couple of steps:
1. Flip down license plate holder to access wing nut.
2. Remove wing nut.
3. Now pull tire cover off and rest it on the ground.
4. Disconnect wiring for license plate light.
5. Remove the retainer ring holding spare tire in place.
6. Remove tire.
Loosen the lug nuts on the tire you want to remove. Check for a stable
footing under the jack and place an ABS footing pad or block of wood about
4” in height below the jack foot plate. Raise the jack until the tire clears the
ground, then finish loosening and removing them. Pull off the old tire, slide
the hubcap out backwards and insert it on spare. Set spare tire evenly on the
lug nuts and hand tighten lug nuts. Retract jack back to travel position. Now
tighten lug nuts completely. Lug nuts should be torqued to
120
ft. lbs. Place
the flat tire in the spare location. With some units that have the larger tires
you will not be able to put the cover back over the tire if you put it on the
rear. Retract other support jacks completely. Have the damaged tire checked
and repaired or replaced. Be sure to have lug nuts re-torqued within 50 miles
since they may loosen
and every 200 miles thereafter
