Check Tire Pressure
The tire pressure range for front and rear tires is 8 to 22
PSI (55 to 152 kPa). The tire pressure needed is deter-
mined by the payload carried.
Lower air pressure will provide less compaction, a
smoother ride and fewer tire marks. Lower pressure
shouldnotbe usedforheavy payloadsathigher speeds.
Higher pressures should be used for heavier payloads
at higherspeeds. Donot exceedthe maximumtire pres-
sure.
Inspect Tires and Wheels
Operating accidents,such as hittingcurbs, candamage
a tire or rim andalso disrupt wheelalignment, so inspect
wheelcondition (tireand rim)and wheelalignment (toe--
in) after any accident.
Check wheels to ensure they are mounted securely.
Torque wheellug nuts(front andrear) from 45to 65ft-lb
(61to88N--m).
If desired, tires can be moved from one position of the
vehicle to another to extend tread life (e.g. front tires to
rear and rear tires to front). All tires are the same size.
