Tires
! WARNING
Always use the size and type of tires
as specified. Refer to the specifica-
tions chart for proper tire inflation
pressure, and always maintain proper
tire inflation pressure.
Tire Tread Condition
The use of worn-out tires on this vehicle
is very dangerous. A tire is considered to
be worn out when the depth of the tread
is less than 3 mm (1/8 in.). Be sure to
replace the tires before reaching this min-
imum specification.
! WARNING
The use of worn-out tires is danger-
ous and can increase the risk of an
accident.
Tire Replacement
The ROV has low-pressure tubeless tires.
Have this maintenance performed by a
qualified tire repair station.
! WARNING
Use only approved tires when replac-
ing tires. Failure to do so could result
in unstable operation.
Tubeless Tire Repair
Should a leak or flat tire occur due to a
puncture, the tire may be repaired using a
plug-type repair. If the damage is from a
cut or if the puncture cannot be repaired
using a plug, the tire must be replaced.
When operating the vehicle in areas
where transportation or service facilities
are not readily available, it is strongly
recommended to carry a plug-type repair
kit and a tire pump along.
Wheels

into park, and engage the differential
lock.
2. Loosen the lug nuts on the wheel to
be removed.
3. Elevate the vehicle.
4. Remove the lug nuts.
5. Remove the wheel.
6. Install the wheel; then using a criss-
cross pattern, tighten the wheel nuts
incrementally to a final torque of
95 ft-lb.
Muffler/Spark Arrester
The muffler has a spark arrester which
must be periodically cleaned. At the
0732-649
intervals shown in the Maintenance
Schedule, clean the spark arrester using
the following procedure.
Wait until the muffler cools to avoid
burns.
1. Remove the screw securing the spark
arrester to the muffler.

bon deposits from the screen taking
