Section 4: Vehicle Operation
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
carrier 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.
To install the tire on the tire carrier
1. Place the tire on the carrier with the top lug bolt in-
serted into one of the holes in the tire rim and the
bottom lug bolt in the center of the rim.
2. Install the top lug nut.
3. Place the support bracket over the bottom lug bolt
across the center of the rim (photo).
4. Install the bottom lug nut over the support bracket.
5. Tighten the lug nuts securely before returning to travel.
Vinyl Tire Cover (if so equipped)
Your tires are manufactured with components that cause “bleeding” onto the tire cover. To
prevent this, it is recommended to use a separator (garbage bag, paper, cloth, etc.) between
the tire and the cover.
