If only the front or rear of the vehicle is to be raised, place
the chocks in front and behind each wheel not being raised

seat beads. Due to the low volume of the small tires,
overinflation can occur in seconds. Never exceed the
tire manufacturer's recommendation when seating a
bead. Protect face and eyes from escaping air when
removing valve core.
To reduce the possibility of severe injury caused by a
broken socket when removing wheels, use only
sockets designed for impact wrench use.
Use caution when inflating tires. Overinflation could
cause the tire to separate from the wheel or cause the
tire to explode, either of which could cause severe
injury.
Use caution when inflating tires. Due to the low volume of

Overinflation could cause the tire to separate from the wheel
or cause the tire to explode.
Tire inflation should be determined by the condition of the
terrain. See GENERAL SPECIFICATIONS section for

applications with major use on grassy areas, the following
should be considered. On hard turf, it is desirable to have a
slightly higher inflation pressure. On very soft turf, a lower
pressure reduces the possibility of tires cutting into the turf.
For vehicles being used on paved or hard surfaces, tire
inflation pressure should be in the higher allowable range,
but under no condition should inflation pressure be higher
than recommended on tire sidewall. All four tires should
have the same pressure
characteristics. Be sure to install the valve dust cap after
checking or inflating.
The vehicle is fitted with low pressure tubeless tires
mounted on one piece rims; therefore, the most cost
effective way to repair a puncture in the tread is to use a
commercial tire plug.

If the tire is flat, remove the wheel and inflate the tire to the
