Tires
Tire Tread Condition
The use of worn-out tires on an ATV is
very dangerous. A tire is considered to
be worn out when the depth of the tread
is less than 3 mm (1/8 in.). Be sure to
replace the tires before reaching this
minimum specification.
Tire Replacement
The ATV has low-pressure tubeless tires. Air is sealed by the contact
surfaces of the inner wheel rim and the tire bead. If either the inner
wheel rim or tire bead is damaged, air may leak. Be extremely careful
not to damage these areas when replacing tires.
It is very important to use the proper tools when repairing or replacing
tires to prevent damage to the tire bead or wheel rims. If proper tools and
related items are not available, have this maintenance performed by an
authorized Arctic Cat ATV dealer or a qualified tire repair station.
CAUTION
A torn air filter can cause damage to the ATV engine. Dirt and
dust may get inside the engine if the filter is torn. Carefully
examine the filter for tears before and after cleaning it. Replace
the filter with a new one if it is torn.

! WARNING
