Tyres
7.8.1
Checking the tyre pressure
The correct tyre pressure ensures optimum driving comfort and maximum service life
of the tyre.
Before driving, check the tyre pressure (e.g. with the tyre pressure gauge of the on-
board tool kit):
1. Unscrew dust cap from the valve.
2. Check tyre pressure (on cold tyre) (refer to the following table).
3. If the tyre pressure does not coincide with the specification, correct tyre pressure.
4. Screw dust cap onto the valve.
WARNING
Risk of explosion. Never connect both battery terminals of the battery to be
bridged.
NOTE
Have the battery and the electrical system checked at an authorised
Arctic Cat specialist repair shop before the next putting into operation of the
vehicle.
NOTE
A too low tyre pressure leads to premature wear and overheating of the tyre.
