MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
NOTICE
Always use the recom-
mended wheel nuts (P/N 250 100
082). Using a different nut could
cause damages to the rim.
Tires
WARNING
When the tires are replaced, nev-
er install a bias tire with a radial
tire. Such a combination could
create handling and/or stability
problems.
Do not mix tires of different size
and/or design on the same axle.
Front and rear tire pairs must have
an identical model and manufac-
turer.
For unidirectional tread pattern,
ensure that the tires are installed
in the correct direction of rotation.
The radial tires must be installed
as a complete set.
Severe injury or death can result
if you do not follow these instruc-
tions.
Tire Pressure
WARNING
Tire pressure greatly affects vehi-
cle handling and stability. Under-
pressure may cause tire to deflate
and rotate on wheel. Overpres-
sure may burst the tire. Always
follow
recommended pressure.
Since tires are low-pressure types,
a manual pump should be used.
Check pressure when tires are
cold
before using the vehicle. Tire pres-
sure changes with temperature and
altitude. Recheck pressure if one of
these conditions has changed.
For your convenience,
a pressure
gauge is supplied in tool kit.

kept in a specific direction for proper
operation.
