Bracket Mount Travel Position; Crank Access Port - Jayco JAY FEATHER Towables 2020 Owner's Manual

Section 4: Vehicle Operation
Depending on your model, the spare tire may have (side or bottom) brackets or it will be
mounted against the underside of the recreation vehicle (flush mount) to give it stability in
travel.

Bracket Mount Travel Position

NOTE: If your spare tire is a flush mount application, it must
make contact with the underside of the recreational vehicle to insure
maximum road clearance and stability in travel. Raising and lowering
the hoist
Raising and lowering the hoist
The crank handle to raise and lower the tire will be located (fastened to the sidewall) in a
basement compartment of the recreational vehicle. Insert the crank handle into the crank
access port located either in the center of the rear bumper, or on the sidewall of the RV. Turn
the crank handle to raise/lower the tire. Two "crisp breaks" must be heard and felt to insure
the proper seating of the tire for travel.
NOTE: If the manual crank access port is
located in a slideout, the slideout room must be
in the travel position to allow the crank to reach
the mechanism used to raise or lower the tire.
Securing the spare tire
To secure the spare tire in the travel position, put the steel hoist lift support located on the
end of the cable through the rim of the tire. The hoist lift support clips need to seat inside the
center hole of the tire rim. The valve stem of the tire MUST be pointed up (toward the bot-
tom of the RV).
