MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES
Read all of this manual to become thoroughly familiar with this vehicle. Pay particular attention to all Notices, Cautions, Warnings, and Dangers.
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.
Tire plug tools and plugs are available at most automotive parts outlets and have the advantage of not requiring the tire be
removed from the wheel.
If the tire is flat, remove the wheel and inflate the tire to the maximum recommended pressure for the tire. Immerse the tire
in water to locate the leak and mark with chalk. Insert tire plug in accordance with manufacturer’s instructions.
To reduce the possibility of severe injury, be sure the mounting/demounting machine is
anchored to floor. Wear OSHA approved safety equipment when mounting/demounting tires.
If the tire is to be removed or mounted, the tire changing machine manufacturer’s recommendations must be followed in
order to reduce possibility of severe injury.
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 follow-
ing the ‘cross sequence’ pattern.
