MAINTENANCE
Tires
Wheel Installation
1. Place the transmission in PARK.
2. Place the wheel on the hub with the valve stem toward the outside
and rotation arrows on the tire pointing toward forward rotation (if
equipped).
3. Install the wheel nuts and finger-tighten them.
4. Lower the vehicle to the ground.
5. Torque the wheel nuts to specification.
Loose nuts could cause a tire to come off during operation, which could result in
an accident or overturn. Always ensure that all nuts are torqued to specification.
