Wheels and Tires
TIRE SIZE
The ATV is equipped with low-pressure tubeless tires of
the size and type listed (see Section 1). Do not under any
circumstances substitute tires of a different type or size.
TIRE INFLATION PRESSURE
Tire inflation pressure should be as specified in Section 1.
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
necessary.
1. Clean the wheels and hubs with parts-cleaning sol-
vent.
2. Clean the tires with soap and water.
3. Inspect each wheel for cracks, dents, or bends.
4. Inspect each tire for cuts, wear, missing lugs, and
leaks.
INSTALLING
1. Install each wheel on its hub.
NOTE: Make sure each wheel is installed on its
proper hub as noted in removing (the “rotation
arrow” must indicate forward direction of rotation).
AF612D
2. Tighten to 32 ft-lb.
CHECKING/INFLATING
1. Using an air pressure gauge, measure the air pres-
sure in each tire. Adjust the air pressure as neces-
sary to meet the recommended inflation pressure.
2. Inspect the tires for damage, wear, or punctures.
NOTE: If repair is needed, follow the instructions
found on the tire repair kit or remove the wheel
and have it repaired professionally.
NOTE: Make sure all tires are the specified size
and have identical tread pattern.
3. Check the front wheel toe-in and toe-out and
adjust as necessary (see Section 8).
4. Test drive the ATV on a dry, level surface and note
any pulling to the left or right during acceleration,
deceleration, and braking.
NOTE: If pulling is noted, measure the circumfer-
ence of the front and rear tires on the pulling side.
Compare the measurements with the tires on the
opposite side. If pulling is noted during braking
only, check and adjust the brakes as necessary
and recheck operation (see Section 2).
5. Increase the air pressure in the tires with the small-
est circumference measurement until all tires are
equal in circumference.
6. Repeat steps 4-5 as necessary to ensure proper
handling.
! WARNING
Use only Arctic Cat approved tires when replacing
tires. Failure to do so could result in unstable ATV
operation.
! WARNING
Always use the size and type of tires specified. Always
maintain proper tire inflation pressure.
! 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 drive train damage not covered by
warranty.
! WARNING
Make sure the ATV is solidly supported on the support
stand to avoid injury.
! WARNING
Do not operate the ATV if tire damage exists.
