Wheel Installation

1. Apply the brakes.
2. Place the transmission in gear.
3. Engage the park brake.
4. Place the wheel in the correct position on the
wheel hub. Be sure the valve stem is toward the
outside and rotation arrows on the tire point
toward forward rotation.
WARNING! Improperly installed wheels can adversely affect tire wear and vehicle handling, 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.
5. Attach the wheel nuts and washers and finger tighten.
6. Carefully lower the vehicle to the ground.
7. Torque the wheel nuts to specification. See page 69.
Lights
Poor lighting can result in reduced visibility when driving. Headlight and taillight lenses
become dirty during normal operation. Clean lights frequently and replace burned out lamps
promptly. Always make sure lights are adjusted properly for best visibility.
When servicing a halogen lamp, don't touch the lamp with bare fingers. Oil from your skin
leaves a residue, causing a hot spot that will shorten the life of the lamp.
Brake Lights
When the brake pedal is depressed, the brake light comes on. Check the brake light before
each ride.
1. Turn the ignition switch to the ON position.
2. Depress the brake pedal. The brake light should come on after about 10 mm (0.4 in.) of
pedal travel. If the light doesn't come on, check the bulb.
