Hoist Mount Travel Position - Jayco JAY SPORT 2018 Owner's Manual

Section 4: Vehicle Operation
Spare Tire Carrier (If So Equipped)
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
DO NOT exceed the maximum load capacities of 100 lbs. for the hoist. DO
NOT use air driven guns or impact wrenches to lift the spare tire to the travel
position.
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.
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 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
NOTE:If the manual crank ac-
cess 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
bottom of the RV).
