5. Tilt the retainer at the end of the cable and pull it through the cen-
ter of the temporary spare tire.
6. After the temporary spare tire is removed from the cable, the cable
must be wound up completely by turning the hoist nut shaft clockwise
until you hear a clicking sound. Also visually inspect the cable to
make certain that there is no longer any slack present.
WARNING
D When using the spare tire hoist:
After the temporary spare tire is removed from the cable, wind
the cable up completely until the retainer at end of the cable sits
against the underside of the vehicle. Driving with the cable not
retracted fully could result in damage to the adjacent under floor
parts and lead to a serious accident.
D The spare tire holder is designed to carry only the smaller tem-
porary spare tire. Never store a full size tire (flat or otherwise) in
the spare tire holder. Doing so can result in damage to adjacent
under floor parts and can lead to a serious accident.
CAUTION
When using the spare tire hoist:
Do not use air tools or power tools to turn the spare tire hoist
shaft end. If you do, it could result in severe mechanical damage
to the spare tire hoist.
