Owner’s Guide
Tire inflation should be determined by the condition of the terrain. See GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS section for recom-
mended tire inflation pressure. For outdoor applications 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 possi-
bility of tires cutting 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 effective 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. Immerse the tire in
water to locate the leak and mark with chalk. Insert tire plug in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions.
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 followed in order
to reduce possibility of severe injury.
Wheel Installation
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 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.
Finger tighten the lug nuts (1) in a ‘cross sequence’ pattern. Tighten the lug nuts to
50 to 85 ft. lbs. (68 to 115 Nm) torque in 20 ft. lbs. (27 Nm) increments following the
‘cross sequence’ pattern.
