MAINTENANCE Read all of this manual to become thoroughly familiar with this vehicle. Pay particular attention to all Notices, Cautions, Warnings, and Dangers. 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 wheel. 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 instructions. To reduce the possibility of severe injury, be sure the mounting/demounting machine is anchored to floor. Wear OSHA approved safety equipment when mounting/demounting tires. If the tire is to be removed or mounted, the tire changing machine manufacturer's recommendations must be fol- 5 lowed in order to reduce possibility of severe injury. Wheel Installation To reduce the possibility of component damage, do not tighten lug nuts to more than 85 ft. lbs. (115 Nm) torque. It is important to follow the 'cross sequence' pattern when installing lug nuts. This will assure even seating of the wheel against the hub. With the valve stem to the outside, mount the wheel onto the hub with lug nuts. Finger tighten the lug nuts (1) in a 'cross sequence' pattern. Tighten the lug nuts to 50 to 85 ft. lbs. (68 to 115 Nm) torque in 20 ft. lbs. (27 Nm) increments following the 'cross sequence' pattern. Tire/wheel style may vary 'Cross Sequence' 1 3 4 2 'Cross Sequence' 1 3 4 5 2 5- 9

tions.
To reduce the possibility of severe injury, be sure the mounting/demounting machine is anchored
