3. Tilt the retainer downward and slip it through the center hole of the spare tire. Make sure the retainer is fully seated across the underside of the wheel. 4. Attach the folding wrench to the hoist shaft. Use the extension tube if you have the optional sliding rear convenience/cargo tray. 5. Turn the folding wrench clockwise to lift the spare tire. 6. When the tire is almost in the stored position, turn the tire so the valve stem is towards the rear of the vehicle. This will help when you check and maintain tire pressure in the spare. 7. Raise the tire fully against the underside of the vehicle. Continue turning the folding wrench until you feel more than two clicks. This indicates that the compact spare tire is secure and the cable is tight. The spare tire hoist cannot be overtightened. 8. Make sure the tire is stored securely. Push, pull, and then try to rotate or turn the tire. If the tire moves, use the folding wrench to tighten the cable. 5-31
