Tire plug tools and plugs are available at most automotive parts outlets and have the advantage of not requiring the tire be
removed from the wheel.
If the tire is flat, remove the wheel and inflate the tire to the maximum recommended pressure for the tire. Immerse
the tire in water to locate the leak and mark with chalk. Insert tire plug in accordance with manufacturer’s instruc-
tions.
To reduce the possibility of severe injury, be sure the mounting/demounting machine is anchored
to floor. Wear OSHA approved safety equipment when mounting/demounting tires.
If the tire is to be removed or mounted, the tire changing machine manufacturer’s recommendations must be fol-
lowed in order to reduce possibility of severe injury.

Loosen the axle nuts (2) and lower the entire wheel, hub
and axle assembly from the front fork. Remove the four lug
nuts (4) and remove tire and wheel assembly from the front
hub.
Replace the tire and wheel assembly on the front hub with
the valve stem (5) to the outside. Install the four lug nuts

To reduce the possibility of component damage, do not
tighten lug nuts to more than 85 ft. lbs. (115 Nm) torque.
It is important to follow the ‘cross sequence’ pattern when install-
ing lug nuts. This will assure even seating of the wheel against
the hub.
To raise the rear of the vehicle, first raise the front of the
vehicle as previously described and support on jack
stands. Then position the jack in the position shown at the
rear of the vehicle. Carefully raise the rear of the vehicle
with the jack and place two jack stands in the position
shown. Slowly lower the jack and check that the vehicle is
securely supported by the jack stands before proceeding.
