To Restore Spare or Flat Tire;
1. Lay the tire on the ground at the rear of the vehicle. Position the tire
so
that the valve stem is pointed down and to the rear.
2. Tilt the retainer downward and through the wheel opening.
Make sure the
retainer is fully seated across the underside
of the wheel.
3. Attach the ratchet, with the
U p
marking facing you, near the hook at the
end of the jack handle as illustrated. Insert the other end, on an angle,
through the hole in the rear bumper and into the hoist shaft.
4. Raise the tire fully against the underside of vehicle. Continue turning the
ratchet until there are two "clicks" or "ratchets." The spare tire hoist
cannot be over-tightened.
5. Grasp and push against the tire to be sure it is stored securely and does
not move.
