1. Clean the wheels and hubs using a pressure
washer.
2. Inspect each wheel for cracks, dents, or bends.
3. Inspect each tire for cuts, wear, missing lugs, and
leaks.
INSTALLING
Install each wheel on its hub. Tighten to 40 ft-lb.
NOTE: Make sure each wheel is installed on its
proper hub as noted in removing (the "rotation
arrow" (if applicable) must indicate forward direc-
tion of rotation).
CHECKING/INFLATING

2. Inspect the tires for damage, wear, or punctures.
! WARNING
Do not operate the ATV if tire damage exists.
NOTE: If repair is needed, follow the instructions
found on the tire repair kit or remove the wheel and
have it repaired professionally.
NOTE: Be sure all tires are the specified size and
have identical tread pattern.
3. Check the front wheel toe-in and toe-out and
adjust as necessary (see Section 8).
4. Test drive the ATV on a dry, level surface and note
any pulling to the left or right during acceleration,
deceleration, and braking.
NOTE: If pulling is noted, measure the circumfer-
ence of the front and rear tires on the pulling side.
Compare the measurements with the tires on the
opposite side. If pulling is noted during braking
only, check and adjust the brakes as necessary
and recheck operation (see Section 2).
5. Increase the air pressure in the tires with the small-
est circumference measurement until all tires are
equal in circumference.
6. Repeat steps 4-5 as necessary to ensure proper
handling.
