Check pressure when tires are “cold”
before using the vehicle. Tire pressure
changes with temperature and alti-
tude. Recheck pressure if one of these
conditions has changed.
For your convenience, a pressure gauge
is supplied in tool box.
Although the tires are specifically de-
signed for off-road use, a flat may still
occur. Therefore, it is recommended
to carry a tire pump and a repair kit.
Tire/Wheel Condition
Check tire for damage and wear. Re-
place if necessary.
Do not make a tire rotation. The front
and rear tires have a different size. The
tires are directional and their rotation
must be kept in a specific direction for
proper operation.
Wheel Removal
Loosen nuts then lift vehicle. Place a
support under vehicle, as shown. Re-
move nuts then remove wheel.
At installation, it is recommended to
apply anti-seize lubricant on threads.
Gently tighten nuts in a criss-cross se-
quence then apply a final torque of 75
N•m (55 lbf•ft).
