MAINTENANCE
Read all of this manual to become thoroughly familiar with this vehicle. Pay particular attention to all Notices, Cautions, Warnings, and Dangers.
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.
DO NOT use low inflation tires on any E-Z-GO vehicle. DO NOT use any tire which has a recom-
5
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.
To reduce the possibility of severe injury caused by a broken socket when removing wheels, use
only sockets designed for impact wrench use.

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.
See GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS section for recommended tire inflation pressure. Under no condition should infla-
tion 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 volume tubeless tires mounted on one piece rims.
Wheel Installation
To reduce the possibility of component damage, do not tighten lug nuts
to more than 85 ft. lbs. (115 Nm) torque.
It is important to follow the 'cross sequence' pattern when installing lug nuts.
This will assure even seating of the wheel against the hub.
With the valve stem to the outside, mount the wheel onto the hub with
lug nuts. Finger tighten the lug nuts (1) in a 'cross sequence' pattern.
Tighten the lug nuts to 50 to 85 ft. lbs. (68 to 115 Nm) torque in 20 ft.
lbs. (27 Nm) increments following the 'cross sequence' pattern.
