TIRES/WHEELS/LUG NUTS
Tires and wheels are very important and critical components
of the buggy. When specifying or replacing the wheels, it
is important that the wheels, tires, and axle are properly
matched.
CAUTION
DO NOT attempt to repair or modify a wheel. If the rim
is cracked, replace the rim immediately and inspect the
tire for cuts, wear and deformations.
TIRE WEAR
The tires (Figure 48) used on this power buggy are foam
filled and therefore do not have to be inflated. However
the tires shoud be inspected for cuts, wear and deformity.
Figure 48. Tire Inspection
LUG NUT TORQUE REQUIREMENTS
It is extremely important to apply and maintain proper wheel
mounting torque on the trailer. Be sure to use only the
fasteners matched to the cone angle of the wheel. Proper
procedure for attachment of the wheels is as follows:
1. Start all wheel lug nuts by hand.
2. Torque all lug nuts (Figure 49) in sequence. DO NOT
torque the wheel lug nuts all the way down. Tighten
each lug nut in 3 separate passes as defined by Table 8.
