SECTION 4
TOWING & HANDLING STARCRAFT TOWABLE
Replacement
If you experience a flat tire on your RV while
driving, gradually decrease your vehicle
speed (if possible). Hold the steering wheel
firmly and move the RV to a safe place on the
side of the road. Any service or warranty
coverage on tires is to be handled by the tire
store representing the brand installed on your
RV; they are not to be returned to your dealer
or Starcraft.
If you have questions
regarding your tires, contact the tire
manufacturer or Starcraft Customer
Service.

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.
Do not use the stabilizer jacks to support
the RV while under the vehicle or changing
tires. The stabilizer jacks are designed as
a stabilizing system only. Do not use the
stabilizer jacks as a jack or in conjunction
with a jack. Attempts to change tires while
supporting the RV with the stabilizer jacks
could result in damage to the RV and risk
causing serious injury or death.

When replacing a tire make sure to replace
it with a tire of the same size and
specifications (refer to the Federal
Certification label information.)
Be sure to use only tires that are rated for
RV use. The use of passenger tires should
be avoided. The load rating/range
embossed on the sidewall of passenger
tires must be de-rated accordingly; they do
not have the same load capability as tires
that are specifically identified for RV use.
Failure to use tires that are properly
matched to your recreation vehicle could
lead to premature tire wear or less than
optimum trailer handling.
When replacing a tire make sure to replace
it with a tire of the same size and
specifications (refer to the Federal
Certification label.)
Check and tighten wheel lug nuts regularly
to make sure they did not loosen during
travel. Wheel lug nuts must be applied and
maintained at the proper torque levels to
prevent loose wheels, broken studs and
possible separation of the wheel(s) from
your trailer. The lug nuts on the wheels of
your RV must be maintained according to
listed torque values (see
Sec 12; Wheel
Lug Torque Chart .) Over-torqued and/or
under-torqued wheels may result in
component failure.
