Changing The Tire - Jayco 2012 Jay Feather Ultralite Owner's Manual

JAYCO TOWABLE
It is recommended that the tire pressure be
checked at the beginning of each journey
to obtain the maximum life of the tire.
Follow the instructions listed on the Federal
Certification label, affixed to the roadside
front corner of your trailer, to determine the
correct tire pressure. Under-inflation may
cause tire failures and swaying; this may
result in loss of control, injury, death or
property damage.
Tire pressure is the most important factor in
the life and performance of your tires. Proper
inflation should be monitored closely. Failure
to do so could result in the overheating of a
tire, which could result in a blowout. Inflation
pressure should be as recommended by the
tire manufacturer or as the federal label for
the RV indicates.

HANGING HE IRE
Never raise the RV by placing the jack
under the axle, springs or any attachment
parts. Failure to comply could result in
property damage, personal injury or death.
1. Keep the RV attached to the tow vehicle.
Block the tire on the opposite side of the
RV from the tire you are changing.
2. Loosen the wheel lug on the tire you are
changing before jacking up the RV. DO
NOT remove the lug nuts; only loosen
them for ease of removal when the tire is
off the ground.
3. Locate the main frame rail of the trailer (it
spans from front-to-back just inside the
tires).
4. To raise the RV, place the jack (hydraulic
or screw) under the main frame rail. It
must be just ahead of the front tire or just
behind the rear tire.
TOWING & HANDLING
Do not use the stabilizer jacks to support
the RV 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. Attempts to change tires while
supporting the RV with the stabilizer jacks
could result in damage to the RV and risk
causing serious injury or death.
Replacement
Be sure to use only tires that are rated for
RV use. The use of passenger tires should
be avoided. The
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 RV use.
Failure to use tires that are properly
matched to your recreation vehicle could
lead to premature tire wear or less than
optimum trailer handling.
When replacing a tire make sure to replace
it with a tire of the same size and
specifications (refer
Certification label.)
If you experience a flat tire on your RV while
driving, gradually decrease your vehicle
speed (if possible). Hold the steering wheel
firmly and move the RV to a safe place on the
side of the road. Any service or warranty
coverage on tires is to be handled by the tire
store representing the brand installed on your
RV; they are not to be returned to your dealer
or Jayco. If you have questions regarding
your tires, contact the tire manufacturer or
Jayco Customer Service.
