MAINTENANCE
CHANGING A TIRE
⚠ WARNING
• NEVER CHANGE ANY TIRE WITHOUT SECURELY
CHOCKING THE REMAINING WHEELS. NEVER POSITION
YOURSELF UNDER A RAISED TRAILER THAT COULD
FALL ON YOU AND CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR EVEN
DEATH!
• FAILURE TO RE-TIGHTEN WHEEL NUTS AS REQUIRED
COULD ALLOW WHEELS TO COME OFF WHILE THE
VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL,
POSSIBLE COLLISION, SERIOUS INJURY OR EVEN
DEATH!
Turn on tow vehicle hazard warning flashers. Set emergency brake. 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. Be sure to
visually inspect the spare tire for any deterioration or damage.
Removing it takes a couple of steps:
1. Flip down license plate holder to access wing nut.
2. Remove wing nut and washer.
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
6. Remove tire.
Slightly loosen the lug nuts on the tire you want to remove. Locate the approved jack
points on the steel sub frame. Using a bottle or scissor jack, raise the trailer 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 front jack back to travel position and remove all
external jacks. Now tighten lug nuts completely. Lug nuts should be torqued to 120 ft/lbs.
Place the flat tire in the spare location. 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.
