Changing A Tire
If you experience a at tire on your recreational vehicle while driving, gradually decrease
your speed and move the recreational vehicle to a safe place on the side of the road.
Do not use the stabilizer jacks to support the recreational vehicle 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.
Never raise the recreational vehicle by placing the jack under the axle,
springs or any attachment parts.
Be sure to use only tires that are rated for recreation vehicle 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 specically identied for
recreational vehicle use. Failure to use tires that are properly matched to
your recreational vehicle could lead to premature tire wear or less than
optimum trailer handling.
Be sure to replace it with a tire of the same size and specications (refer
to the Federal Certication label.)
It is recommended that the tire pressure be checked at the beginning of
each trip to obtain the maximum life of the tire. Follow the instructions
listed on the Federal Certication label, to determine the correct tire pres-
sure. Under-ination may cause tire failures and swaying resulting in loss
of control, injury, death or property damage.
Towable recreation vehicles are equipped with special trailer (ST) tires
that have a maximum speed rating of 65 MPH (104 km/h).
Exceeding the tire speed rating may result
in tire failure, which could lead to an accident causing serious injury or
death.
Cold tire ination pressure is dened as a tire that has not been
used for three or more hours, or has been driven less than one mile. Tire
ination pressure of a hot tire may show an increase of as much as 6 psi
over a cold tire.
