FRONT WHEEL/SUSPENSION/STEERING
TIRES
Use only water
as a
lubricant when
removing
or mount-
ing tires. Soap
or
some mounting
lubricants
may
leave
a
slippery
residue which
can
cause
the
tire
to
shift
on the rim and
lose tire pressure
during riding.
REMOVAL
NOTE:
•
This service requires the ATV Bead Buster
(KLS379024).
•
Remove and install the tire from the rim side
opposite the valve stem.
Remove the core from the valve stem.
Use a pneumatic tire changer or equivalent to
remove the tire from the rim. If a tire changer is not
available,
rim protectors and tire irons may be used.
Adjust the bottom rim supports to the proper rim
size.
Align the flat side of the support with the corre-
sponding rim size indicator.
Lube the bead area of the tire with water, pressing
down on the tire sidewall/bead area in several
places to allow the water to run into and around the
bead.
Place the wheel assembly over the center shaft and
use the correct size cone to keep the wheel centered
during operation.
Install the bottom hold down nut, bearing side
down,
and finger tighten it so the wheel can rotate
freely during operation.
Install the breaker arm assembly over the center
shaft and adjust the upper rim supports to fit the
outside rim diameter.
Install the top hold down nut and tighten it finger
tight.
