20. Stow the flat tire. Refer to Stowing the flat/spare tire if the vehicle

is equipped with a spare tire carrier.

Note: Do not stow the Harley-Davidson flat tire and wheel using the

spare tire winch mechanism; store the flat in the bed of the truck.

21. Stow the jack, jack handle and lug wrench. Make sure the jack is

securely fastened so it does not rattle when driving.

22. Unblock the wheels.

Stowing the flat/spare tire

Note: Failure to follow spare tire stowage instructions may result in

failure of cable or loss of spare tire.

1. Lay the tire on the ground with the valve stem facing in the direction

specified on the Tire Changing Instructions located in the glove box.

2. Slide the wheel partially under the vehicle and install the retainer

through the wheel center. Pull on the cable to align the components at

the end of the cable.

3. Turn the jack handle clockwise until the tire is raised to its stowed

position underneath the vehicle. The effort to turn the jack handle

increases significantly and the spare tire carrier ratchets or slips when

the tire is raised to the maximum tightness. Tighten to the best of your

ability, to the point where the ratchet/slip occurs, if possible. The spare

tire carrier will not allow you to overtighten. If the spare tire carrier

ratchets or slips with little effort, take the vehicle to your authorized

dealer for assistance at your earliest convenience.

4. Check that the tire lies flat against the frame and is properly

tightened. Try to push or pull, then turn the tire to be sure it will not

move. Loosen and retighten, if necessary. Failure to properly stow the

spare tire may result in failure of the winch cable and loss of the tire.

5. Repeat this tightness check procedure when servicing the spare tire

pressure (every six months, per scheduled maintenance information),

or at any time that the spare tire is disturbed through service of other

components.

6. If removed, install the spare tire lock (if equipped) into the bumper

drive tube with the spare tire lock key (if equipped) and jack handle.
