MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES Read all of this manual to become thoroughly familiar with this vehicle. Pay particular attention to all Notices, Cautions, Warnings, and Dangers. When lifting vehicle, position jacks and jack stands at the areas indicated only. To raise the entire vehicle, install chocks in front and behind each front wheel. Center the jack under the rear frame crossmember. Raise the vehicle enough to place a jack stand under the outer ends of the rear axle. Lower the jack and test the stability of the vehicle on the two jack stands. Place the jack at the center of the front axle. Raise the vehicle enough to place jack stands under the frame crossmember as indicated. Lower the jack and test the stability of the vehicle on all four jack stands. 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 to stabilize the vehicle. Lower the vehicle by reversing the lifting sequence. WHEELS AND TIRES View from Underside of Vehicle 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 intermittently to 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 a 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. DO NOT use low inflation tires on any E-Z-GO vehicle. DO NOT use any tire which has a recommended inflation pressure less than the inflation pressure recommended in the owner's guide. 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. Tire Repair Tool List Qty.

of the rear axle.
Lower the jack and test the stability of the vehicle on the two jack
stands.
Place the jack at the center of the front axle. Raise the vehicle
enough to place jack stands under the frame crossmember as indi-
cated.
Lower the jack and test the stability of the vehicle on all four jack
stands.

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
intermittently to 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 a 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.
DO NOT use low inflation tires on any E-Z-GO vehicle. DO NOT use any tire which has a rec-
ommended inflation pressure less than the inflation pressure recommended in the owner’s
guide.
Use caution when inflating tires. Overinflation could cause the tire to separate from the
