Tire Tread Depth
Replace the tires
when the tread depth
is worn to 3.5 mm or
less.
Tire Repair
Use a tire plug to repair small holes in the tread part of the
tire. For large holes or holes/cuts in the tire sidewall, the
tire must be replaced.
1. Remove the wheel from the vehicle.
2. Locate the leak in the tire.
a. If the tire is very low or flat, fully inflate the tire.
b. Brush soapy water over the surface of the tire.
Air bubbles will be visible where the air is leaking
from the tire.
c. Mark the hole with chalk.
4. Install the plug according to the manufacturer’s
instructions.
5. Install the wheel on the vehicle.
6. Fully inflate the tire. See GENERAL SPECIFICA-
TIONS on page 161.
NOTICE: Tire plug tools and plugs are available at
automotive outlets. The tire does not have to be
removed from the wheel to install the tire plug.
Tire Replacement
Tire replacement requires a tire mounting machine and
must be done by a qualified tire center or TEXTRON OFF
ROAD dealer.

1. Lift the vehicle.
2. Remove the lug nuts.
3. Remove the wheel from the hub.
Wheel Installation
Do not tighten lug nuts to more than
100 ft. lbs. (135 Nm) torque.
NOTICE: It is important to follow the ‘cross
sequence’ pattern when installing lug nuts. This will
assure even seating of the wheel against the hub.
The STAMPEDE 900 rear tires are wider than the
front tires. Make sure you reinstall the wheels in
their correct position.
1. With the valve stem to the outside, mount the wheel
onto the hub with lug nuts. Be sure to position the
wheel on hub correctly (uni-directional tires require
the arrow indicating direction of rotation to be point-
ing forward when moving forward).
2. Finger tighten lug nuts in a cross sequence pattern
(Ref. Fig. 2).
Fig. 2
3. Then, tighten lug nuts to torque values in 20ft. lbs.
(27 Nm) increments following the same cross
sequence pattern.
Not less than 3.5 mm
