OPERATION AND SERVICE INFORMATION

Owner’s Guide

Read all of manual to become familiar with this vehicle. Pay attention to all NOTICES, CAUTIONS, WARNINGS and DANGERS.

B

If only the front or rear of the vehicle is to be raised, place
the chocks in front and behind each wheel not being
raised to stabilize the vehicle.
Lower the vehicle by reversing the lifting sequence.

A tire explosion can cause severe injury or 

death. Never exceed the inflation pressure rat-

ing on the tire sidewall.
To reduce the possibility of tire explosion, 

pressurize tire with small amount of air applied 

intermittently to seat beads. Due to the low vol-

ume of the small tires, overinflation can occur 

in seconds. Never exceed the tire manufactur-

er’s recommendation when seating a bead. 

Protect face and eyes from escaping air when 

removing a valve core.
To reduce the possibility of severe injury 

caused by a broken socket when removing 

wheels, use only sockets designed for impact 

wrench use.
Use caution when inflating tires. Overinflation 

could cause the tire to separate from the wheel 

or cause the tire to explode, either of which 

could cause severe injury.
DO NOT use low inflation tires on any E-Z-GO 

vehicle. DO NOT use any tire which has a rec-

ommended inflation pressure less than the 

inflation pressure recommended in the owner’s 

guide.

Use caution when inflating tires. Due to the low volume 
of the small tires, overinflation can occur in seconds. 
Overinflation could cause the tire to separate from the 
wheel or cause the tire to explode.
Tire inflation should be determined by the condition of 
the terrain. See GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS section 
for recommended tire inflation pressure. For outdoor ap-
plications with major use on grassy areas, the following 
should be considered. On hard turf, it is desirable to 
have a 

slightly

 higher inflation pressure. On very soft 

turf, a lower pressure reduces the possibility of tires cut-
ting into the turf. For vehicles being used on paved or 
hard surfaces, tire inflation pressure should be in the 
higher allowable range, but under no condition should 
inflation pressure be higher than recommended on tire 
sidewall. 

All four tires

 should have the same pressure 

for optimum handling characteristics. Be sure to install 
the valve stem dust cap after checking or inflating.
The vehicle is fitted with low pressure tubeless tires 
mounted on one piece rims; therefore, the most cost ef-
fective way to repair a puncture in the tread 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, remove the wheel and inflate the tire to 
the maximum recommended pressure for the tire. Im-
merse the tire in water to locate the leak and mark with 
chalk. Insert tire plug in accordance with manufacturer’s 
instructions.
