Wheels and Tires
TIRE SIZE
The ATV is equipped with low-pressure tubeless tires of
the size and type listed in General Information. Do not
under any circumstances substitute tires of a different
type or size.
TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE
Front and rear tire inflation pressure should be as speci-
fied in General Information.
REMOVING
1. Secure the ATV on a support stand to elevate the
wheels.
2. Remove the wheels.
NOTE: Keep left-side and right-side wheels sepa-
rated for installing them on their proper sides.
CLEANING AND INSPECTING

NOTE: Whenever a part is worn excessively,
cracked, or damaged in any way, replacement is nec-
essary.
1. Clean the wheels and hubs using a pressure washer.
2. Inspect each wheel for cracks, dents, or bends.
3. Inspect each tire for cuts, wear, missing lugs, and
leaks.
INSTALLING
Install the wheel; then using a crisscross pattern, tighten the
wheel nuts in 20 ft-lb (27.1 N-m) increments to a final
torque of 40 ft-lb (54.4 N-m) (steel wheel), 60 ft-lb (81.6
N-m) (aluminum wheel w/black nuts), or 80 ft-lb (108.8
N-m) (aluminum wheel w/chrome nuts) .
NOTE: Make sure each wheel is installed on its
proper hub as noted in removing (the “rotation
arrow” [if applicable] must indicate forward direction
of rotation).
CHECKING/INFLATING
1. Using an air pressure gauge, measure the air pressure
in each tire. Adjust the air pressure as necessary to
meet the recommended inflation pressure.
CAUTION
Do not tighten the nut beyond the 42 ft-lb (56.9 N-m)
specification. The shock eyelet or mount WILL be dam-
aged.

! WARNING
Use only approved tires when replacing tires. Failure to
do so could result in unstable ATV operation.
! WARNING
Do not mix tire tread patterns. Use the same pattern
type on front and rear. Failure to heed warning could
cause poor handling qualities of the ATV and could
cause excessive drivetrain damage not covered by war-
ranty.
! WARNING
Make sure the ATV is solidly supported on the support
stand to avoid injury.
