Wheel Removal/Installation
Loosen nuts then lift vehicle. Place a
support under vehicle. Remove nuts
then remove wheel.
At installation, it is recommended to
apply anti-seize lubricant on threads.
The tires are directional and their rota-
tion must be kept in a specific direction
for proper operation.
Torque wheel nuts in accordance with
the following illustration.
Torque to 100 N•m (74 lbf•ft).
NOTE: Occasionally,
wheel
nuts
should be removed to apply anti-seize
lubricant on studs to ease future re-
moval. This is particularly important
when vehicle is used in salt-water en-
vironment or in mud. Remove one nut
at a time, lubricate then retorque.

TIGHTENING SEQUENCE
NOTICE
Always use the recom-
mended wheel nuts (P/N 250 100
082). Using a different nut could
cause damages to the rim.
Tire Pressure
WARNING
Tire pressure greatly affects vehi-
cle handling and stability. Under-
pressure may cause tire to deflate
and rotate on wheel. Overpres-
sure may burst the tire. Always
follow
recommended pressure.
Since tires are low-pressure types,
a manual pump should be used.
Check pressure when tires are cold
before using the vehicle. Tire pres-
sure changes with temperature and
altitude. Recheck pressure if one of
these conditions has changed.
For your convenience,
a pressure
gauge is supplied in tool kit.
