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.
Use caution when inflating tires. Overinflation could cause the tire to separ
ate from the wheel or
cause the tire to explode, either of which could cause severe injury.
To reduce the possibility of severe injury caused by a broken socket when removing wheels, use
only sockets designed for impact wrench use.

Generally, the most cost effective way to repair a flat tire resu
lting from a puncture in the tread portion is to use a com-
mercial tire plug.
If the tire is flat, raise vehicle and remove wheel. Refer to ‘Lifting
the Vehicle’ for proper lifting procedure and safety infor-
mation. Inflate tire to the maximum recommended pressure, immers
e tire in water to locate the leak and mark the leak
with chalk. Insert tire plug in accordance with manufacturer’s specifications.
Use caution when inflating tires. Due to the
low volume of the small tires, overinflation can occur in seconds. Overinfla-
tion could cause the tire to separate from
the wheel or cause the tire to explode.
Recommended tire inflation pressure is 12 psi. Under no con
dition should inflation pressure be higher than recom-
mended on tire sidewall. All four tires should have the same pr
essure for optimum handling characteristics. Be sure to
install the valve stem dust cap after checking or inflating. The vehicle is fitted with low volume tubeless tires mounted on
one piece rims.
