Owner’s Manual and Service Guide
Read all of Manual to become thoroughly familiar with this vehicle. Pay particular attention to all Notes, Cautions and Warnings
under no condition should inflation pressure be higher
than recommended on the tire sidewall. Standard and
optional tires should be inflated to pressure designated in
GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS on page 4-1. If pressure is
not designated in GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS, inflate
to pressure designated on tire sidewall. All four tires
should have the same pressure for optimum handling
characteristics. Do not overinflate. Due to the low volume
of these small tires, overinflation can occur in a matter of
seconds. Be sure to install valve dust cap after checking
or inflating.
Wheel and Tire Service
Tool List Qty. Required
Lug wrench, 3/4"..........................................................1
Impact socket, 3/4", 1/2" drive .....................................1
Impact wrench, 1/2" drive ............................................1
Torque wrench, 1/2" drive, ft. lbs .................................1
To prevent injury caused by a broken socket,
use only sockets designed for impact wrench
use.
The vehicle is fitted with low pressure tubeless tires
mounted on one piece rims. When removing wheels with
an impact wrench, use only impact sockets. Regular
sockets are not designed for impact pressures exerted
by power tools.
Generally, the most cost effective way to repair a flat tire
resulting from a puncture in the tread portion of the tire is
to use a commercial tire plug.
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, raise vehicle and remove wheel. Refer to
‘Lifting the Vehicle’ for proper lifting procedure and safety
information. Inflate tire to maximum recommended pres-
sure. Immerse the tire in water to locate the leak and
mark with chalk. Insert tire plug in accordance with man-
ufacturer’s specifications.
If the tire is to be removed or mounted, the tire changing
machine manufacturer’s recommendations must be fol-
lowed in order to minimize the possibility of personal
injury. Be sure to position tire on wheel correctly. Arrow
on tire indicates rotation when moving forward
.
To prevent injury, be sure mounting/demount-
ing machine is anchored to floor. Wear OSHA
approved safety equipment when mounting/
demounting tires.
Follow all instructions and safety warnings provided by
the mounting/demounting machine manufacturer.
Do not tighten lug nuts to more than 85 ft. lbs. (115 Nm)
torque.
It is important to follow the ‘cross sequence’ pattern when
installing lug nuts. This will assure even seating of the wheel
against the hub.
With the valve stem to the outside, mount the wheel onto
the hub with lug nuts. Be sure to position the wheel on
hub correctly with arrow indicating direction of rotation
when moving forward. Finger tighten lug nuts in a ‘cross
sequence’ pattern (Ref Fig. 34 on page 22). Then,
tighten lug nuts to 50 - 85 ft. lbs. (70 - 115 Nm) torque in
20 ft. lbs. (30 Nm) increments following the same ‘cross
sequence’ pattern.
