It is very important to use the proper tools when repairing or replac-
ing 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 surface or
the tire bead.
! WARNING
Use only Arctic Cat approved tires when replacing tires. Fail-
ure 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 recommended to
carry a plug-type repair kit and a tire pump along.
