Changing A Tire - Jayco JAY SPORT 2018 Owner's Manual

Changing a Tire

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.
Failure to comply with these guidelines could result in damage to the
vehicle and risk causing serious injury or death.
When replacing tires:
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 specifically identified 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 specifications (refer
to the Federal Certification label.)
If you experience a flat 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.
1. Keep the recreational vehicle attached to the tow vehicle. Block 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. Locate the mainframe rail of the trailer (it spans from front-to-back just inside the tires).
4. To raise the recreational vehicle, 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.
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.
