Tires/Wheels
ƽ
WARNING
When the tires are replaced, never
install a bias tire with a radial tire.
This combined application may
create handling and/or stability
problems.
Donotmixtiresofdifferentsize
and/or design on the same axle.
Front tire pairs or rear tire pairs
must be the identical model and
manufacturer.
For unidirectional tread pattern,
ensure that the tires are installed
in the correct direction of rotation.
The radial tires must be installed
as a complete set.
Severe injury or death can result
if you do not follow these instruc-
tions.
Tire Pressure
ƽ
WARNING
Tire pressure greatly affects vehi-
cle handling and stability. Under-
pressure may cause tire to deflate
and rotate on wheel. Overpres-
suremayburstthetire. Always
follow recommended pressure.
Since tires are low-pressure types,
a manual pump should be used.
Check pressure when tires are COLD
before using the vehicle. Tire pres-
sure changes with temperature and
altitude. Recheck pressure if one of
these conditions has changed.
For your convenience, a pressure
gauge is supplied in tool box.
TIRE PRESSURE
FRONT REAR
RECOMMENDED
35 kPa

Although the tires are specifically de-
signed for off-road use, a flat may still
occur. Therefore, it is recommended
to carry a tire pump and a repair kit.
Tire/Wheel Condition
Check tire for damage and wear. Re-
place if necessary. Do not make a tire
rotation. The front and rear tires have
a different size. The tires are direc-
tional and their rotation must be kept
in a specific direction for proper oper-
ation.
Wheel Removal
Occasionally, wheel nuts should be re-
moved to apply an anti-seize lubricant
on studs to ease future removal. This
is particularly important when vehicle
is used in salt-water environment or in
mud. Remove one nut at a time, lubri-
cate then retorque.
Loosen nuts then lift vehicle. Place a
support under vehicle. Remove nuts
then remove wheel. At installation, it
is recommended to apply an anti-seize
lubricant on threads. Gently tighten
nuts in a criss-cross sequence then ap-
ply a final torque of 53 Nm(39lbfft).
CAUTION: Always use the recom-
mended wheel nuts (P/N 732 610
084). Using a different nut could
cause damages to the rim.
Front Wheel Bearing
Condition
Push and pull the wheels from the
upper edge to feel the play. See an
authorized Bombardier ATV dealer if
there is any play.
Rear Axle Inspection
Lift rear of vehicle high enough to
have wheels off the ground. Push
and pull rear axle to feel the play. See
