WHEELS AND TIRES

A tire explosion can cause severe injure or death. Never exceed the inflation pressure rating on
To reduce the possibility of tire explosion, pressurize the tire with small amounts of air applied
intermittently to seat beads. Due to the low volume of the small tires, over inflation can occur in
seconds. Never exceed the tire manufacturer's recommendation when seating a bead. Protect
face and eyes from escaping air when removing a valve core.
Use caution when inflating tires. Over inflation could cause the tire to separate from the wheel or
cause the tire to explode, either of which could cause severe injury.
To reduce the possibility of severe injury caused by a broken socket, use only sockets designed
for impact wrench use for removal and installation of wheels.

Tire Repair

Tool List

Generally, the most cost effective way to repair a flat tire resulting from a puncture in the tread portion is to use a com-
mercial tire plug.
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 the maximum recommended pressure, immerse tire in water to locate the leak and mark the
leak with chalk. Insert tire plug in accordance with manufacturer's specifications.
Use caution when inflating tires. Due to the low volume of the small tires, over inflation can occur in seconds. Over
inflation could cause the tire to separate from the wheel or cause the tire to explode.
The recommended tire inflation pressure is 12 psi. Under no condition should inflation pressure be higher than recom-
mended on tire sidewall. All four tires should have the same pressure for optimum handling characteristics. Be sure to
install the valve stem cap after checking or inflating tires. The vehicle is fitted with low volume tubeless tires mounted
on one piece wheel rims.

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 flow 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 (1). Finger tighten lug nuts in a 'cross
sequence' [pattern. Tighten all lug nuts to 50 - 85 ft. lbs (68 -
115 Nm) torque in 20 ft. lbs (27 Nm) increments following
the 'cross sequence' pattern.
