WHEEL AND TIRE INSTALLATION
NOTE:
Upon vehicle delivery, the shipping wheel and tire assemblies must be replaced by the standard
XRT wheel and tire assemblies, which are delivered in the vehicle cargo bed.
Do not remove the warning tag attached to the steering wheel until the shipping wheel and tire
assemblies have been replaced by standard XRT wheel and tire assemblies.
The Turf 2 XRT’s front and rear wheels are NOT interchangeable. The rear wheels have a different offset than
do the front wheels; the rear wheels must be installed with the deeper offset facing out.
A rectangular sticker on each wheel designates its correct location on the vehicle.
LF —Left Front (driver side)
RF—Right Front (passenger side)
LR—Left Rear
RR—Right Rear
Standard Turf 2 XRT tires (off-road) are directional and must be installed according to the directional arrow
mark on each tire (arrow indicates forward rotation of tire), or tread performance will be severely compro-
mised. The optional turf tire is not directional, and installation is dictated only by correct wheel position, not tire
direction.
1. Slightly loosen the lug nuts on all four wheels.
2. Raise one end of the vehicle until the tires are off the ground by approximately six inches.
See following

• Lift only one end of the vehicle at a time. Use a suitable lifting device (chain hoist or hydraulic
floor jack) with 1000 lb. (454 kg) minimum lifting capactiy. Do not use lifting device to hold
vehicle in raised position. Use approved jack stands of proper weight capacity to support the
vehicle and chock the wheels that remain on the floor. When not performing a test or service
procedure that requires movement of the wheels, lock the brakes.
3. Remove the lug nuts and the wheel.
4. Install the correct wheel and tire assembly and tighten lug nuts (using a crisscross pattern) until they are
snug.
