The use of worn-out tires on this vehicle
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 min-
imum specification.
Tire Replacement
This vehicle 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 per-
formed by an authorized Arctic Cat
dealer or a qualified tire repair station.
Tubeless Tire Repair
Should a leak or flat tire occur due to a
puncture, the tire may be repaired using a
plug-type repair. If the damage is from a
cut or if the puncture cannot be repaired
using a plug, the tire must be replaced.
When operating the vehicle in areas
where transportation or service facilities
are not readily available, it is strongly
recommended to carry a plug-type repair
kit and a tire pump along.
