5.5 TIRE CARE
See Sect 1.5 for recommended tire pressure. Improper inflation will shorten the life of your tires and will
adversely affect performance. Do not exceed maximum stated on tire sidewall.
NOTICE: Replacement tires must be the same size as original equipment. Increased tire load ratings are
permissible but tire rating does not increase the rated load carrying capacity of the vehicle.
5.6 WHEEL & TIRE REMOVAL/INSTALLATION
Place blocks ahead of and behind the wheels that will remain on ground. Slightly loosen lug nuts. Place a
jack under the side of the vehicle in contact with the frame. Raise vehicle and remove lug nuts and wheels.
To install, tighten the lug nuts evenly in a star pattern until the nuts are all seated and torque to. 65 ft. lbs.
Recheck lug nut torque with the vehicle on the ground
NOTICE: The wheel may be bent if not torqued in a crossing pattern. This will cause the wheel to wobble.
5.7 CLEANING
Wash underside to remove all dirt and debris. Do not direct high pressure water at the controller, speed
switches, or tops of the batteries.
Wash body and seat with a mild detergent. Do not use abrasives on painted or hydro dipped panels.
Frequent washings with mild soap will preserve the finish of your vehicle. For stubborn and imbedded
dirt, a soft bristle brush may be used. Tar, asphalt, creosote and the like should be removed immediately
to prevent staining of paint.
NOTICE: Do not use harsh detergents, abrasives or cleaning solvents that contain ammonia, aromatic solvents or
alkaline material to clean vehicle.
5.8 LUBRICATION
Semi-annually grease the vehicle chassis. Use a high quality grease. Remove the weight from the front
suspension before lubricating to ensure proper grease distribution.
The differential should be checked periodically for signs of leakage. Contact your Tomberlin dealer for
fluid replacement.
