Changing A Tire - Jayco Swift Owner's Manual

Section 4: Vehicle Operation
NOTE: Cold tire inflation pressure is defined as a tire that has not been
used for three or more hours, or has been driven less than one mile. Tire
inflation pressure of a hot tire may show an increase of as much as 6 psi
over a cold tire.
It is recommended that the tire pressure be checked at the beginning of
each trip to obtain the maximum life of the tire. Follow the instructions
listed on the Federal Certification label, to determine the correct tire pres-
sure. Under-inflation may cause tire failures and swaying resulting in loss
of control, injury, death or property damage.
TOWABLE PRODUCTS ONLY
Towable recreation vehicles are equipped with special trailer (ST) tires
that have a maximum speed rating of 65 MPH (104 km/h). You should
not exceed this speed rating. Exceeding the tire speed rating may result
in tire failure, which could lead to an accident causing serious injury or
death.

Changing A Tire

The motorhome is very heavy. Raising the motorhome to replace the
tire should only be done with extreme caution by a qualified technician.
The vehicle could slip, causing personal injury or death. DO NOT AT-
TEMPT TO DO THIS YOURSELF.
When replacing a tire, make sure to replace it with a tire of the same size
and specifications (refer to your Chassis Guide for assistance).
If you experience a flat tire on your motorhome while driving, gradually decrease your
vehicle speed (if possible), and move the motorhome to a safe place on the side of the road.
Contact your road service provider (if applicable) or a qualified service facility for assis-
tance. Do not attempt to change the tire or jack the motorhome up yourself.
Make sure the road service technician reads and is familiar with the Chassis Guide informa-
tion regarding changing the tires. Make sure the wheel lug nuts have been tightened to the
proper torque as outlined in your Chassis Guide.
