Tire Replacement
This ATV has low-pressure tubeless tires. Air is sealed by the contact surfaces of the inner
rim and the tire bead. If either the inner rim or tire bead are 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, the tire
bead or the rims. If you do not have access to the proper tools or lack the technical ability,
have your tires serviced by an authorized ARGO dealer.
When breaking the tire bead loose from the rim, be extremely careful not to
damage the inner rim surface or the tire bead.
CAUTION
Use only ARGO approved tires on your ATV when replacing tires. Failure to do so
could result in unstable ATV operation.
