MAINTENANCE
Read all of SAFETY and this section before attempting any procedure. Pay particular attention to Notices, Cautions, Warnings and Dangers.
WHEELS AND TIRES
To decrease the risk of tire explosion, do not exceed the tire inflation pressure rating on the tire
To decrease the risk of tire explosion, inflate small amounts of air into the tire at intervals to seat
beads. Because of the low volume of the small tires, over inflation can occur in seconds. Never
exceed the tire inflation pressure rating on the tire sidewall when seating a bead. Protect the face
When you remove the wheels, use only sockets made for impact wrenches to decrease the risk of
Do not use tires with low rated pressure. Do not use tires that have a recommended tire inflation
pressure less than the tire inflation pressure recommended in the owner's guide.
Do not over inflate the tires. Excess pressure can cause the tire to separate from the wheel or
Recommended Tire Pressure
The general recommended tire inflation pressure is 18-22 psi, but tire inflation pressure can vary according to the condi-
tion of the terrain.
For outdoor applications with primary use on areas with grass, consider the following:
•
Slightly higher tire inflation pressure is suitable on hard turf.
•
A lower pressure decreases the risk of tires cutting into a soft turf.
For hard surfaces or pavement, tire inflation pressure must be in the higher allowed range, but not more than recom-
mended on the tire sidewall.
All four tires must have the same pressure for best control qualities. Always install the valve stem cap after you check or
inflate the tires.

Use caution when you inflate the tires. Because of the low volume of the small tires, over inflation can occur in seconds.
Over inflation can cause the tire to separate from the wheel or cause a tire explosion.
The vehicle has low-pressure tubeless tires, installed on one-piece rims.
Use a tire plug to repair small holes in the tread part of the tire. For large holes and cuts, replace the tire.
Tire plug tools and plugs are available at automotive outlets. The tires do not have to be removed from the wheel to
If the tire is flat, remove the wheel and inflate the tire to the recommended maximum pressure for the tire. Submerge the
tire in water to find the leak and mark with chalk. Install the tire plug according to manufacturers instructions.
