TIRE PRESSURE MONITOR SYSTEM (TPMS) (IF
EQUIPPED)
Your RV may be equipped with a Tire Pressure Monitoring System
(TPMS). The system has sensors installed on the tire valve
stems. Tire temperatures and pressures are displayed only on the
JayCommand/TravelLINK Smartphone App, which connects through
Bluetooth to your BMPRO control system. There is no TPMS page on
the BMPRO Mini control panel screen inside the RV.
Rotating the tires:
The TPMS System comes with sensors that either screw on to the
valve stem or are inside the stem of each tire. Screw on sensors are
programmed according to their tire position on the trailer, and not to
each individual tire. Make sure the screw on sensors stay in the same
location during a tire rotation.
Internal sensors are paired to each tire. To change the pair position in
the JAYCOMMAND/TravelLINK Smartphone App, go to the sensors
page in the phone App or touch screen (if available), and unpair all
tires. Then, for each tire, one at a time, choose pair, then follow the
onscreen instructions to pair each tire.
CHANGING A TIRE
(See page 33)
If you experience a flat tire on your recreational vehicle while driving,
gradually decrease your speed and move the recreational vehicle to a
safe, level place on the side of the road.
1.
Keep the recreational vehicle attached to the tow vehicle. Chock
the tire on the opposite side of the recreational vehicle from the
tire you are changing.
2.
Loosen the wheel lug on the tire you are changing before jacking
up the vehicle. DO NOT remove the lug nuts; only loosen them
for ease of removal when the tire is off the ground.
3.
Place the jack (hydraulic or screw) under the main frame rail of
the RV (it spans from front-to-back just inside the tires). It must
be just ahead of the front tire or just behind the rear tire. Use the
jack to lift the tire off the ground.
4.
Remove the lug nuts, and replace the tire.
5.
Hand tighten the lugs, and lower the jack. With the tire on the
ground, fully tighten the lugs using the appropriate torque pattern
and values.
6.
Remove the chocks, and store the damaged tire until it can be
fixed or replaced.
Tire Replacement
Any service or warranty coverage on tires is to be handled by the tire
manufacturer or the store representing the brand installed on your
recreation vehicle. They are not to be returned to your dealer or
recreation vehicle manufacturer.
If you have questions regarding your tires, contact the tire
manufacturer.

VEHICLE OPERATION
(See page 33 & page 35)
SPARE TIRE CARRIER (IF EQUIPPED)
(See page 33)
If your recreational vehicle is equipped with a spare tire, it will either
be mounted under the unit (hoist) or on the rear bumper.
Hoist Mount
The spare tire will be mounted against the underside of the recreation
vehicle (flush mount) using a cable hoist to give it stability in travel.
Hoist Mount Spare Tire Travel Position
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
The crank handle to raise and lower the
tire will be located in the storage under the
master bed or in a basement compartment
of the recreational vehicle. Insert the crank
handle into the crank access port (A) located
either in the center of the rear bumper, or on
the sidewall of the RV. You may find it easier
to look/feel under the skirting to align the
handle with the attachment point.
Turn the crank handle to raise/lower the tire.
Visually inspect to insure the proper seating
of the tire for travel. The hoist lift (B) should
sit firmly in the center of the tire.
If the manual crank access port is located in a slideout, the slideout
room must be in the travel position (in) to allow the crank to reach the
mechanism used to raise or lower the tire.
Rear Bumper Tire Carrier
1.
Remove the spare tire cover (if
equipped).
2.
Remove the lug nuts holding the tire in
place.
3.
Remove the support bracket from the
bottom lug.
4.
Pull the tire from the tire carrier.
To reinstall the spare tire, reverse the steps
above.
Vinyl Tire Cover (if equipped)
Your tires are manufactured with components that cause "bleeding"
onto the tire cover. To prevent this, it is recommended to use a
separator (garbage bag, paper, cloth, etc.) between the tire and the
cover.
