Changing A Tire - Jayco REDHAWK 2023 Owner's Manual

Section 4: Vehicle Operation
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 pressure. Under-
inflation may cause tire failures and swaying resulting in loss of control, in-
jury, death or property damage.

Changing A Tire

The motor home is very heavy. Raising the motor home to replace the
spare tire should only be done with extreme caution by a qualified techni-
cian. The vehicle could slip, causing personal injury or death. DO NOT
ATTEMPT TO DO THIS YOURSELF.
Do not use the hydraulic leveling jack system to support the motor home
while under the vehicle or changing tires. The hydraulic leveling system
is designed as a leveling system only. Do not use the hydraulic leveling
jack system as a jack or in conjunction with a jack. It is highly rec-
ommended that, should a tire change be required, it be performed by a
knowledgeable, trained professional. Attempts to change tires while
supporting the motor home with the hydraulic leveling jack system
could result in damage to the motor home and risk causing serious
injury or death.
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 motor home while driving, gradually decrease your
vehicle speed (if possible), and move the motor home 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 motor home up yourself; this is why
a jack and a spare tire have not been included with the motor home.
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.
Awnings
Awnings must be closed (and secured) while the RV is in transit.
Keep clear of arm assemblies while opening, adjusting or closing the aw-
ning. Failure to obey this caution could result in injury and/or property
damage.
Always operate the awning according to the instructions.
Periodically check that the fasteners are tight (tighten if necessary).
Keep the awning fabric and arms clean.
