1. Slide the flat or spare tire (A) onto the tire carrier. 2. Slide the tire retainer plate (C) into the wheel opening. Be sure that the stud attached to the tire carrier passes through the hole in the tire retainer plate. 3. Tighten the nut (D) by hand until tire retainer plate (C) is snug against the tire. Then use the ratchet and spanner to tighten the nut firmly. Try to move the tire back and forth slightly to be sure it is secure. Follow these instructions to store the jack and tools: 1. Lower the jack completely. 2. Place the jack in the mounting bracket. 3. Tighten the wingnut (A) until the jack is securely fastened. 4. Place the tools in the bag. 4. Reattach the wheel blocks (E) to the tire retainer plate (C) and tighten the wing nut. 5. Reinstall the tire cover onto the spare or flat tire. 5. Slide the securing clip over the bag and secure the bag to the floor by tightening the wingnut (B) to the stud coming out of the floor. In order to reduce the potential of the jack squeaking or rattling, you will need to preload the jack so it fits tightly in the mounting bracket. To do this, turn the u-hook/clevis at the top of the jack clockwise until the jack is held tight in the mounting bracket. 5-29
