TIRES
Tools List
Qty. Required
Impact wrench, 1/2" drive ............................................ 1
Impact socket, 3/4", 1/2" drive ..................................... 1
Torque wrench, 1/2" drive, ft. lbs. ................................ 1
Wrench, 1 1/8"............................................................. 2
To prevent injury caused by a broken sock-
et, use only sockets designed for impact
wrench use. Never use a conventional sock-
et.
Tire condition should be inspected per the Periodic Ser-
vice Schedule (Ref. Fig. 14 on page 13). Inflation pres-
sures should be checked when the tires are cool. When
removing wheels with an impact wrench, use only impact
sockets. Regular sockets are not designed for impact
pressures exerted by power tools.
A tire explosion can cause severe injury or
death. Never exceed inflation pressure rat-
ing on tire sidewall.
To prevent tire explosion, pressurize tire
with small amount of air applied intermit-
tently to seat beads. Never exceed the
tire manufacturer’s recommendation
when seating a bead. Protect face and
eyes from escaping air when removing
valve core.
Use caution when inflating tires. Due to
the low volume of these small tires, over-
inflation can occur in a matter of sec-
onds. Overinflation could cause the tire
to separate from the wheel or cause the
tire to explode, either of which could
cause personal injury.
Use caution when inflating tires. Due to the low volume of
these small tires, overinflation can occur in a matter of
seconds. Overinflation could cause the tire to separate
from the rim or cause the tire to explode, either of which
could cause personal injury.
See GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS section for recom-
mended tire inflation pressure. Under no condition
should inflation pressure be higher than recommended
on tire sidewall.
All three tires
should have the same
pressure for optimum handling characteristics. Be careful
not to overinflate. Due to the low volume of these small
tires, overinflation can occur in a matter of seconds. Be
sure to install the valve dust cap after checking or inflat-
ing.
Tire Repair
The vehicle is fitted with tubeless tires mounted on one
piece rims.
Generally, the most cost effective way to repair a flat tire
resulting from a puncture in the tread portion of the tire 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 rim.
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
specifications.
If tire is to be removed from or mounted on rim, the tire
changing machine manufacturer’s recommendations
must be followed to reduce possibility of personal injury.
T o p re v e n t in j u r y , b e s u r e m o u n t in g /
demounting machine is anchored to floor.
Wear OSHA approved safety equipment
when mounting/demounting tires.
Follow all instructions and safety warnings provided by
the mounting/demounting machine manufacturer.
Wheel Installation
Do not tighten lug nuts to more than 85 ft. lbs. (115
Nm) torque.
