Step 9: Install the handle assembly (90-4214) to the tire carrier using the supplied 3/8” X 2

1/2” bolts. (Fig. C1 & C2) Torque the bolts according to the chart on page

Step 10: Assemble the tire mount bracket (adjustable bracket 93-5652 & stationary

bracket 93-5655) using the supplied (5) 3/8” X 1” bolts and hardware. Leave the bolts
loose at this time. Lay the spare tire face down on the ground and install the tire mount
bracket temporarily onto the spare tire. (Fig. D & E)

Step 11: With the spare tire face down, lay a ruler or a flat bar across the tire and adjust the

tire mount bracket assembly until the base makes contact with the ruler or flat bar. (Fig. E)
Torque the tire mount bracket assembly bolts according to the chart on page

. NOTE: The

assembled bracket may not line up perfectly with the straight edge.

Step 12: Install the tire mount bracket assembly onto the tire carrier using the supplied 1/2”

X 1 1/2” hardware. Install the spare tire to the mounting bracket. (Fig. F)

NOTE: The size of the spare tire will determine the mounting height of the bracket. If

possible, it is better to have the tire fit tighter against the straight edge/tire carrier to avoid
excess vibration.
