DO NOT use low inflation tires on a Cushman vehicle. DO NOT use any tire which has a recom-
mended inflation pressure less than 45 - 55 psi (310 - 379 kPa).
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.

Use caution when inflating tires. Due to the low volume of the small tires, over-inflation can occur in seconds. Over infla-
tion could cause the tire to separate from the wheel or cause the tire to explode.
The recommended tire inflation pressure is 45 - 55 psi (310 - 379 kPa). Tire inflation should be determined by the condi-
tion of the terrain.
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 possibility 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
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.
