Check Tire Pressure

The tire pressure range for front and rear tires is 8 to 22
PSI (55 to 152 kPa). The tire pressure needed is deter-
mined by the payload carried.
Lower air pressure will provide less compaction, a
smoother ride and fewer tire marks. Lower pressure
should not be used for heavy payloads at higher speeds.

Inspect Tires and Wheels

Operating accidents, such as hitting curbs, can damage
a tire or rim and also disrupt wheel alignment, so inspect
wheel condition (tire and rim) and wheel alignment (toe--
in) after any accident.
Check wheels to ensure they are mounted securely.
Torque wheel lug nuts (front and rear) from 45 to 65 ft-lb
(61 to 88 N- -m).

Higher pressures should be used for heavier payloads
at higher speeds. Do not exceed the maximum tire pres-
sure.
If desired, tires can be moved from one position of the
vehicle to another to extend tread life (e.g. front tires to
rear and rear tires to front). All tires are the same size.
