mended 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 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 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.
LIGHT BULB REPLACEMENT
To reduce the possibility of premature bulb failure, do not touch new bulbs with bare fingers. Use clean, dry
tissue or paper towel to handle the glass portion of the bulb.
