SECTION 4 TOWING & SET-UP JAYCO CAMPING TRAILERS
4-4
CHANGING A TIRE
1. Keep the RV attached to the tow vehicle. Block the tire on the opposite side of
the RV from the tire you are changing.
2. Loosen the wheel lug on the tire you are changing before jacking up the RV.
DO NOT remove the lug nuts; only loosen them for ease of removal when the
tire is off the ground.
3. Locate the main frame rail of the trailer (it spans from front-to-back just behind
the tires).
4. To raise the RV, place the jack (hydraulic or screw) under the main frame rail.
It must be just ahead of the front tire or just behind the rear tire.
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.
DANGER
Failure to follow proper inflation guidelines may result in tire failure,
which, under certain circumstances can cause loss of vehicle control or
accidents that may result in property damage, bodily injury and/or
WARNING
Never raise the RV by placing the jack under the axle, springs or any
attachment parts. Failure to comply could result in property damage, personal
injury or death.
WARNING
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.
WARNING
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.
