MAINTENANCE
Read all of SAFETY and this section before attempting any procedure. Pay particular attention to Notices, Cautions, Warnings and Dangers.
If the tire is flat, raise vehicle and remove wheel. Refer to 'Lifting the Vehicle' for proper lifting procedure and safety infor-
mation. Inflate tire to the maximum recommended pressure, immerse tire in water to locate the leak and mark the leak
with chalk. Insert tire plug in accordance with manufacturer's specifications.
Use caution when inflating tires. Due to the low volume of the small tires, over inflation can occur in seconds. Over infla-
tion 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 inflation
pressure be higher than recommended on tire sidewall. All four tires should have the same pressure for optimum han-
dling 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.

Unidirectional Tires

Unidirectional tires may be identified by a directional arrow on the sidewall. Be sure to position the wheel on the hub cor-
rectly with the arrow indicating the direction of rotation when moving forward.

WHEEL ALIGNMENT

Driving over rough terrain may cause mis-alignment of the wheels. With four wheel independent suspension both front
and rear wheels may need to be aligned.
Wheel Alignment
Tool List
Tape Measure.............................................................. 1

Park the buggy on a level surface, set the front wheels straight ahead. Turn the key switch to OFF, remove the key and
set the parking brake.
With the buggy empty (no passengers or payload) measure the distance between the center of both the front and the
rear sets of tires. Measure both in front and behind each tire set, keeping the tape measure parallel to the ground. The
measurement behind the tires should be 1/4" less than the measurement taken at the front of the tires to produce a toe-
out condition.
