JAYCO TOWABLE SECTION 4-TOWING & SET-UP
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 inside 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.
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 Jayco.
If you have questions regarding your tires, contact the tire manufacturer or Jayco
Customer Service.
SPARE TIRE CARRIER (IF SO EQUIPPED)
If your RV is equipped with a spare tire, it will either be mounted under the unit (hoist) or
on the rear bumper.
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
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.
WARNING
When replacing a tire make sure to replace it with a tire of the same size and
specifications (refer to the Federal Certification label.)
