MAINTENANCE

Read all of this manual to become thoroughly familiar with this vehicle. Pay particular attention to all Notices, Cautions, Warnings, and Dangers.

No person(s) should be in or on the vehicle while lifting.
To raise the entire vehicle, install chocks in front and behind each

front wheel. Center the jack under the rear frame crossmember.

Raise the vehicle enough to place a jack stand under the outer ends

of the rear axle.
Lower the jack and test the stability of the vehicle on the two jack

stands.
Place the jack at the center of the front axle. Raise the vehicle

enough to place jack stands under the frame crossmember as indi-

cated.
Lower the jack and test the stability of the vehicle on all four jack

stands.
If only the front or rear of the vehicle is to be raised, place the

chocks in front and behind each wheel not being raised to stabilize

the vehicle.
Lower the vehicle by reversing the lifting sequence.

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.

To reduce the possibility of severe injury caused by a broken socket when removing wheels, use

only sockets designed for impact wrench use.

DO NOT use low inflation tires on any E-Z-GO vehicle. DO NOT use any tire which has a recom-

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.
