WHEELS AND TIRES

A tire explosion can cause severe injury or death. Never exceed the inflation pressure rating on
the tire sidewall.
To reduce the possibility of tire explosion, pressurize tire with small amounts 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 recommendation when seating a bead. Protect face
and eyes from escaping air when removing a 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.
DO NOT use low inflation tires on any E-Z-GO vehicle. DO NOT use any tire which has a recom-
mended inflation pressure less than the inflation pressure recommended in the owner's guide.
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.

Use caution when inflating tires. Due to the low volume of the small tires, overinflation can occur in seconds. Overin-
flation 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. Recommended tire inflation pressure is 18 - 22 psi.
For outdoor applications with major use on grassy areas, the following should be considered. On hard turf, it is desir-
able 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.
