Try to park out of the sun whenever possible when in warm climates. In desert
regions use tire covers to prevent ultra-violet deterioration to tires.
To CHANGE A TIRE with a jack see the label affixed to the underbelly to the rear
of the wheels. This label, says JACK with an arrow and points to a plate riveted
to the mainframe rail where the jack head must be placed. A flat tire may also
be changed without the aid of a jack. Drive the unit up on a ramp 8’ wide, 6”
high, and about 3 feet long at its base. Position the good tire on the ramp. This
will raise the flat tire clear of the ground.

Warning: Never attempt to change any tire without securely
chocking remaining wheels. Never position yourself in a manner where a
raised trailer can come down on you if it should become dislodged from
a jack or ramp.
Warning: When removing aluminum-forged wheels from
spindle, it is very important to mark them to assure the wheel is placed in
the same position of the drum when reinstalling. If the aluminum-forged
wheel is to be mounted on a different drum it is important to sand all loose
corrosion from the mating surfaces.
Warning: WHEEL SEPARATION CAN OCCUR
1. On first trip, tighten wheel nuts at start and at 10, 25, and 50 miles.
2. Thereafter, check wheel nuts before each trip.
3. Following winter storage, check before beginning a trip.
4. Following excessive braking, inspect wheel nuts
See Chart in Specification Section in this manual for wheel torque ratings,
