Tire Repair
Park your golf cart on a level surface and place wheel chocks
in front of the front wheels to prevent rolling. Use a jack to lift
the cart so the damaged tire is completely off of the ground.
Remove the lug nuts holding the wheel on to the body, using a
3/4-inch socket wrench. Take the wheel off of the cart.
Remove any nails, screws or other sharp objects embedded in
the air-filled tire. Use needle-nose pliers. Sometimes the item
will have fallen out, leaving just a small hole. The best way to
locate a hole is to wet the tire with soapy water and fill it with
air. You should see some bubbling action near the spot of the
leak.
Repair all small holes using
a tire repair kit such as
Stop & Go. The Stop &
Go Tire plugging gun is
a spring-loaded de-
vice that ‘drives’ the
tire plug into the
hole. The shaft
of the tire plugs
expand under
pressure to fill
the puncture.
The mushroom
head of the
plug seats on
the inner wall
allowing no air
to escape. This
insures maxi-
mum reliability
from its’ revolu-
tionary design. The
kit comes in a vinyl
zippered pouch mea-

Fill the tire with the proper air
pressure and check to make sure
the leak is closed. If so, attach the
tire to the body again with the lug
nuts.
Lower the cart to the ground and
remove the wood chocks. Test the
tire out at slow speeds for safety
purposes.
