The effort toturn the jack handle increasessignificantly and the spare tire carrierratchets or slips when the tire is raisedto the maximum tightness. Tighten tothe point where the ratchet or slipoccurs, a minimum of three times asindicated by an audible click each time.The spare tire carrier does not allowyou to overtighten. If the spare tirecarrier ratchets or slips with little effort,contact your authorized dealer.
