Tire Replacement
The ATV 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 ATV
dealer or a qualified tire repair station.
CAUTION
When breaking the tire bead loose
from the wheel, be extremely careful
not to damage the inner wheel sur-
face or the tire bead.
! WARNING
Use only Arctic Cat approved tires
when replacing tires. Failure to do
so could result in unstable ATV
operation.
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 ATV in areas where
transportation or service facilities are not
readily available, it is strongly recom-
mended to carry a plug-type repair kit
and a tire pump along.
