TIRES

Always use the size and type of tires as specifi ed. Refer to the
appropriate specifi cations chart for proper tire infl ation pressure,
and always maintain proper tire infl ation pressure.
The use of worn-out tires can be dangerous and can increase the
risk of an accident.
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 performed
by an authorized Arctic Cat ATV dealer or a qualifi ed tire repair
station.
When breaking the tire bead loose from the wheel, be extremely
careful not to damage the inner wheel surface or the tire bead.
! WARNING

very dangerous. A tire is considered to
be worn out when the depth of the tread
is less than 4 mm (5/32 in.). Be sure to
replace the tires before reaching this
minimum specifi cation.
