Wheel Installation

Improperly installed wheels can adversely affect tire wear and vehicle han-
dling, which can result in serious injury or death. Always ensure that all nuts
are torqued to specification. Do not service axle nuts that have a cotter pin
installed. See your Polaris dealer.
1. Place the wheel on the wheel
hub with the valve stem
toward the outside and the
rotation arrows on the tire
pointing toward forward
rotation.
2. Install the wheel nuts finger
tight.
