Installation
1. Position the wheel.
2. Position each wheel nut so that the tapered side faces the wheel
rim (2).
3. Hand-tighten the wheel nuts on the wheel, then lower the ATV
to the ground before tightening the nuts in a crisscross (rather
than circular) pattern to the specified torque:
TRX500FA6 (Steel wheel model):
64 N·m (6.5 kgf·m, 47 lbf·ft)
TRX500FA7 (Aluminium wheel model):
84 N·m (8.6 kgf·m, 62 lbf·ft)
If a torque wrench was not used for installation, see your dealer as
soon as possible to verify proper assembly. Improper assembly may
lead to loss of braking capability.
