MAINTENANCE
WHEEL INSTALLATION
Improperly installed wheels can adversely affect tire wear and vehicle
handling, which can result in serious injury or death. Always ensure that all
nuts are torqued to specification. Do not service axle nuts that have a cotter pin
installed. Your authorized dealer can provide service.
To ensure that the washers fully seat in the wheel taper, use other hand to
1. Set the park brake.
2. Place the wheel in the correct
position on the wheel hub. Be sure
the valve stem is toward the outside
and rotation arrows on the tire point
toward forward rotation.
3. Attach the wheel nuts and finger
tighten. For vehicles with steel
wheels, install cone washers then
install new lug nuts. With hand tools,
lightly tighten the nuts.
4. Carefully lower the vehicle to the
ground.
5. Torque the wheel nuts to
specification in the same criss-cross
pattern as shown.
LIGHTS
Poor lighting can result in reduced visibility when driving. Headlight and taillight
lenses become dirty during normal operation. Clean lights frequently and
replace burned out lamps promptly. Do not operate this vehicle at night or in low
light conditions until the headlight is replaced. Always make sure lights are
adjusted properly for best visibility.
When servicing a halogen lamp, don't touch the lamp with bare fingers. Oil from
your skin leaves a residue, causing a hot spot that will shorten the life of the
lamp.
