Section 4: Vehicle Operation
Raising and lowering the hoist
The crank handle to raise and lower the tire will be located (fastened to the sidewall) in a
basement compartment of the recreational vehicle. Insert the crank handle into the crank
access port located either in the center of the rear bumper, or on the sidewall of the RV. Turn
the crank handle to raise/lower the tire. Two “crisp breaks” must be heard and felt to insure
the proper seating of the tire for travel.
Securing the spare tire
To secure the spare tire in the travel position, put the steel hoist lift
support located 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
up (toward the bottom of the RV).
Bumper Mount
The spare tire bracket can be released and extended down to
access a storage compartment at the rear of the trailer without
removing the tire.
To extend the tire down
1. Remove the cotter key from the pin holding the tire car-
rier in place.
2. Remove the pin and extend the carrier away from the
trailer.
Always return the tire carrier to the upright position
and lock it in place while traveling.
To remove the tire from the tire carrier
1. Remove the lug nuts holding the tire in place.
2. Remove the support bracket from the bottom lug.
3. Pull the tire from the tire carrier.
NOTE: If the manual crank access port is
located in a slideout, the slideout room must be
in the travel position to allow the crank to reach
the mechanism used to raise or lower the tire.
