WHEELS AND TIRES Tires

NOTE: An air leak could be due to a punctured casing, faulty valve core, improperly seated valve stem, or improperly
seated tire bead.
Small holes in the casing can be plugged using a standard automotive tubeless tire repair kit available
at your local Club Car dealer.
2. When the cause of the air leak has been determined, remove tire from the rim and repair as required. See Tire
Removal on page 8-2.
TIRE INSTALLATION
WARNING
• While mounting or inflating tire, keep hands, fingers, etc. from exposed areas between the tire bead
and rim.
1. Clean both tire beads to remove dirt or other foreign matter.
2. Where the tire beads seat, clean the wheel rim with a wire brush. Wipe away any debris with a clean cloth.
NOTE: Because tubeless tires require a perfect seal in order to seat, keeping the tire and rim clean is very important.
3. Apply a liberal amount of tire-mounting lubricant (soap and water solution) to both tire beads and rim flanges.
4. Install the tire on the rim from the valve stem side. If there is no tire machine available, use a rubber mallet
and tire iron.
5. Remove the valve core, and position tire so that both beads are on the rim flange narrow bead seats.
6. Place tire and wheel assembly against wall in upright position and push it against wall while inflating tire to 30 to
35 psig (207 to 242 kPa). The three-point contact (wall, floor, and hand) will help ensure that beads snap into
place and form a proper seal as tire is inflated
(Figure 8-2, Page 8-4) . See following WARNING.
WARNING
• Do not use a compressed air source with pressure over 100 psig (689 kPa). Due to low pressure
requirements of a small tire, over-inflation could be reached almost instantly with a high pressure air
supply. Over-inflation could cause tire to explode, possibly resulting in severe personal injury.
7. Quickly remove the air nozzle and install the valve core.
8. Adjust air pressure in tire to recommended pressure. Vehicle Specifications – Electric and Subaru EX40
9. Immerse the wheel and tire assembly in water to make sure there are no leaks.
