Do not use the leveling jack system to support the
motorhome while under the vehicle or changing tires.
The leveling system is not designed to support the
entire weight of the motorhome. Do not use the leveling
jack system as a jack or in conjunction with a jack. If
a tire change is required, it is highly recommended the
work be performed by a knowledgeable and trained
professional. Attempts to change a tire while supporting
the motorhome with the leveling jack system could
result in damage to the motorhome and risk causing
serious injury or death.
WARNINGWARNING
The motorhome is a very heavy vehicle. Raising the
motorhome to replace the spare tire should only be
done with extreme caution by a qualied technician
and with the proper tools. The vehicle could slip,
causing personal injury or death. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO
DO THIS YOURSELF. ALWAYS CALL FOR ROADSIDE
ASSISTANCE TO JACK YOUR MOTORHOME AND TO
CHANGE DAMAGED TIRES.

in Section 3, Emergency Stopping.

Tire Identification Information
To maintain the load capacity of your motorhome, it is
vitally important to replace worn or damaged tires with
tires with ratings equal to or higher than what was orig-
inally equipped on your vehicle. e illustration below
describes important tire information that is embossed on
every tire by the manufacturer.
e Load Index may be indicated with two numbers sep-
arated with a forward slash. e rst number is the load
index of the tire congured as a single tire on a single
wheel. e second number indicates the load index of the
tire as a dual-wheel conguration. Multiplying the second
number by 2 will give you the total Load Index for the dual
wheel conguration.
NOTE: The load index per tire configured as dual
wheel is less than a single tire to provide a margin
of safety for the load-carrying capacity of the tire in
the event that one of the dual tires is punctured or
otherwise fails.
