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
solvent.
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).
2. Tighten cap screws to specifications.

CHECKING/INFLATING
1. Using an air pressure gauge, measure the air
pressure in each tire. Adjust the air pressure as
necessary to meet the specified inflation pres-
sure.
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: Be sure all tires are the specified size and
have identical tread pattern.
3. Test drive the ATV on a dry, level surface and
note any pulling to the left or right during accel-
eration, 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).
4. Increase the air pressure in the tires with the
smallest circumference measurement until all
tires are equal in circumference.
5. Repeat steps 3-4 as necessary to ensure proper
handling.
! WARNING
Do not operate the ATV if tire damage exists.
