TIRES
WARNING
Operating your ATV with worn tires, improperly inflated tires, non-standard tires
or improperly installed tires will affect vehicle handling and could cause an
accident resulting in serious injury or death. Tires age, even if they have not
been used or have only been used occasionally. Cracking of the tread and
sidewall rubber, sometimes accompanied by carcass deformation, is evidence
of aging. Old and aged tires must be checked by tire specialists to ascertain
their suitability for further use. Always follow all tire maintenance procedures as
outlined in this manual and on the labels on the vehicle. Always use original
equipment size and type when replacing tires.
Refer to the specifications section for recommended tire type, size and pressure.
TIRE TREAD DEPTH
Always replace tires when tread depth
is worn to 3 mm (1/8”) or less.
FRONT WHEEL HUB TIGHTENING
Front wheel bearing tightness and spindle nut retention are critical component
operations. All service must be performed by your authorized dealer or other
qualified service facility.
WHEEL REMOVAL
1. Position the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Place the transmission in gear.
3. Stop the engine. Lock the parking brake.
4. Loosen the wheel nuts slightly.
WARNING
Do not service axle nuts that have a cotter pin installed. Your POLARIS dealer
or other qualified personnel can assist.
