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.
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.
Be sure to use only tires that are rated for RV 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 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.
Replacement
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.
