Tire Tread Condition

The use of worn-out tires on a ATV is
very dangerous. A tire is considered to
be worn out when the depth of the tread
is less than 3 mm (1/8 in.). Be sure to
replace the tires before reaching this
minimum specification.
! WARNING
The use of worn-out tires can be
dangerous and can increase the
risk of an accident.

Tire Replacement

This ATV has low-pressure tubeless
tires. Air is sealed by the contact sur-
faces 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 main-
tenance performed 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 care-
ful not to damage the inner wheel
surface or the tire bead.
! WARNING
Use only Arctic Cat approved tires
when replacing tires. Failure to do so
could result in unstable operation.

Tire Repair (Tubeless)

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
0732-649
be replaced. When operating the ATV
in areas where transportation or service
facilities are not readily available, it is
strongly recommended to carry a plug-
type repair kit and a tire pump along.
