CAUTION
Position the plastic washers directly against the wheel
of the spare tire. This will help protect the wheel from any
marring. Failure to follow these instructions may cause
scratches and other non-warranty damage to the wheel.
6.
Unpin the lever bar and let it slide inside the wheel mount
shaft; reattach the safety pin and clasp to the top hole.
7.
Attach the safety bolt.
DO NOT DRIVE THE MOTORHOME WITHOUT THE
SAFETY BOLT IN PLACE. The safety bolt will hold the spare
tire carrier upright if the locking mechanism should fail.
Property damage, personal injury or other consequential,
non-warranty damage can occur if the locking mechanism
fails and the safety bolt is not attached.
Safety cable attachment
1.
When towing, the safety cable tabs (Figure 1) on either
side of the main receiver hitch can be used to attach the safety
cables.
Maintenance
1.
At the beginning of each towing season, check to ensure
that all fasteners are tight.
Using the spare tire carrier will decrease the weight
capacity of the vehicle’s hitch receiver by one third. This
lowered capacity must still be more than the weight of a
towed vehicle or hitch accessory attached to the spare
tire carrier.
If it is not, replace the hitch receiver with one that has
the appropriate weight capacity. Otherwise, structural
failure will occur.
The spare tire carrier has a maximum carrying capacity
of 10,000 pounds and a maximum tongue weight of 400
pounds (excluding the weight of the wheel and carrier).
Do not exceed these weight capacities or structural fail-
ure will occur.
If a longer power cord is necessary…
Hitch accessories such as the spare tire carrier will extend
the length of the towing system. If your power cord is now too
short, longer versions are available.
