EQUIPMENT:CARRIER:SPARE TIRE

Description

THE SPARE TIRE AND WHEEL ASSEMBLY IS ATTACHED TO THE MOTORHOME WITH A CHAIN AND PULLEY MECHANISM. IF INADEQUATE TENSION IS NOT PRE-LOADED INTO THIS MECHANISM, ROAD VIBRATION CAN CAUSE THE FRICTION CLUTCH TO SLOWLY RELEASE OR BACKDRIVE THE MECHANISM, WHICH CAUSES THE SPARE TIRE AND WHEEL ASSEMBLY TO SLOWLY LOWER AND CONTACT THE ROAD SURFACE FORWARD OF THE FRONT AXLE. IF THIS HAPPENS A POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD AND/OR ROAD OBSTRUCTION COULD RESULT.
