Wheel Nuts; Recovery Towing - Winnebago Sunrise User Manual

1. Place jack under jacking point specified in
your chassis operating guide. Position jack
so it may be operated without placing your
body beneath vehicle.
2. Screw jack extension pad out (up) until it
touches jacking point surface.
3. Begin jacking until jack is firmly positioned
and just begins to bear weight, but do not lift
tire off the ground.
4. "Crack" wheel nuts loose with lug wrench,
but do not unscrew nuts yet.
5. Resume jacking until wheel and tire are free
of ground.
WARNING
DO NOT crawl under the vehicle
when it is supported by a jack..
6. Remove wheel nuts and wheel.
NOTE: When installing the outer dual wheel and
tire assembly, rotate the outer dual wheel
so valve stems are accessible but not
touching one another. In some cases this
means that the inner and outer valve
stems should be in separate wheel cutout
locations
When installing or tightening dual
wheels, both wheels on the same side
must be off the ground (not resting on the
inner dual). This minimizes the possibili-
ty of loose wheels after correct mounting
torque is applied.
7. Mount spare wheel on studs and replace
wheel nuts. Refer to your chassis operating
guide for wheel nut torque and tightening
sequence.

WHEEL NUTS

To properly seat the wheel nuts and to elimi-
nate the possibility of the wheel nuts becoming
loosened while driving, they should be tightened
at frequent intervals to the torque specified in
your chassis operating guide. This is especially
important after the first 100, 1,000 and 6,000
IN CASE OF DRIVING EMERGENCY
miles of operation after replacement of a wheel or
wheel nuts.

RECOVERY TOWING

When calling a professional towing service,
we recommend that you advise them of your
coach length and approximate front axle weight.
This will allow the towing operator to determine
the proper towing equipment to use. (This infor-
mation is found on the vehicle certification label
located to the left of the steering wheel.)
We recommend that you ask for an underlift
(wheel lift or frame lift) type towing assembly for
safe towing.
Winnebago Industries does not assume re-
sponsibility for damage incurred while towing
this vehicle.
NOTE: Consult the chassis operating guide for
any additional towing instructions or
precautions provided by the chassis
manufacturer.
Do not lift on bumper. Damage will
result to front end body parts.
Stay out from beneath the motor
home while it is suspended by the
towing assembly unless the vehicle is
adequately
stands. Do not allow passengers to
occupy a towed vehicle.
NOTE: Know and obey all state and local towing
regulations. Tow at reduced speed.
