WHEELS/TIRES
●Support the wheel rim [A] on a suitable stand [B] to
prevent the tire from slipping off.
●Inflate the tire until the tire beads seat on the rim.
Maximum Tire Air Pressure ( to seat beads when cold )
Front and Rear: 250kpa (2.5 kgf-cm
2
, 36 psi )
△WARNING
Do not inflate the tire to more than the maximum tire
air pressure. Over inflation can explode the tire with
possibility of injury and loss of line.
●Check to see that rim lines [A] on both sides of the tire are
parallel with the rim flanges [B].
★If the rim lines and the rim flanges are not paralleled,
deflate the tire, lubricate the sealing surfaces again, and
re-inflate the tire.
●After the beads are properly seated, check for air leaks.
○Apply a soap and water solution around the tire bead and
check for bubbles.
●Deflate the tire to the specified pressure.
●Check the tire pressure using an air pressure gauge.
Tire Air Pressure (when cold)
Front: 50 kPa (7.0 psi)
Rear: 50 kPa (7.0 psi)
●Install the wheel (see Wheel Installation).
●Wipe off the soap and water solution on the tire and dry the
tire before operation.
△WARNING
Do not operate the vehicle with the water and soap still
around the tire beads. They will cause tire separation,
and a hazardous condition may result.
Tire Inspection
●Examine the tire for damage and wear.
○If the tire is cut or cracked, replace it.
○Lumps or high spots on the tread or sidewalls indicate
internal damage requiring tire replacement.
○Remove any foreign objects from the tread. After removal,
check for leaks with a soap and water solution.
○Check the shape of the tread knobs. If no vertical side is left
on the drive side of the knobs, replace the tire.
