jack stands at the areas indicated only.
To raise the entire vehicle, install chocks in front and
behind each front wheel (Ref. Fig. 17 on page 12). Cen-
ter the jack under the rear frame crossmember. Raise
the vehicle enough to place a jack stand under the outer
ends of the rear axle.
Lower the jack and test the stability of the vehicle on the
two jack stands.
Place the jack at the center of the front axle. Raise the
vehicle enough to place jack stands under the frame
crossmember as indicated.
Lower the jack and test the stability of the vehicle on all
four jack stands.
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.

inflation pressure rating on tire sidewall.
Use caution when inflating tires. Due to the low volume of
the small tires, overinflation can occur in seconds. Over-
inflation 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
applications with major use on grassy areas, the follow-
Flat Portion
ing 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

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.

To reduce the possibility of tire explosion, pres-
surize tire with small amount of air applied inter-
mittently to seat beads. Due to the low volume of
the small tires, overinflation can occur in sec-
onds. Never exceed the tire manufacturer's rec-
ommendation when seating a bead. Protect face
and eyes from escaping air when removing 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.
Tire plug tools and plugs are available at most
automotive parts outlets and have the advan-
