Wheels; Light Bulb Replacement - Arctic Cat 550 H1 EFI Manual

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.

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.
