Installing tire sensors
Tire sensors come already paired to the RVMaster system from
the factory. Sensors come on a card (See TPMS sensor kit photo
above), that shows where each sensor should be installed on the
RV. The top of the card represents the "hitch" end of the RV. Top
left sensor would install on the front driver side tire. Top right
sensor would install on the front passenger side tire, etc.
Install a nut from the parts kit (shown in A) on to the valve stem
of each tire. Run the nut all the way down the valve stem
(F).
Screw one of the sensors onto the valve stem. You will hear
a puff of air as you tighten the sensor on the stem. Sensor
should be screwed as far onto the valve stem as possible.
DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN. Once the sensor is installed on
the stem, run the nut back up the valve stem until it contacts
the bottom of the sensor. Use the wrench to tighten the nut
under the TPMS sensor (G).
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 ve-
hicle 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).
