Flat Tire Repair
-
If using hand tools, loosen lug nuts before lifting.
-
Lift from the preferred lift point.
-
Place a cooler, toolbox, spare tire, or similar solid object under the vehicle as a secondary support.
-
Remove the lug nuts, catching each one if possible.
-
If a lug nut falls into dirt or sand, clean it before reinstalling so the threads are not damaged.
-
Install the replacement wheel.
-
Start every lug nut by hand.
-
Tighten in a star pattern.
-
Torque to Polaris specifications whenever possible. If a torque wrench is not available, tighten with an impact to get you home.
Preferred Rear Lift
Lift Here
Rear trailing arm beneath the shock.
Why
-
Fastest rear lift.
-
Minimizes suspension travel.
-
Two points of contact create a very stable lift.
-
Jack body braces against the suspension spring for added stability.
Watch Out
-
Position the pad directly beneath the trailing arm.
-
Push the jack firmly against the spring before lifting.
Trail Tip
Two points of contact help stabilize the jack and reduce movement throughout the lift.
Alternate Rear Lift

Lift Here
Lower radius rod just before the bend.
Why
-
Excellent backup when the trailing arm is blocked.
Watch Out
-
Vehicle must be in Park.
-
Chock a tire whenever possible before lifting.
-
Lift only from the straight section of the radius rod.
Trail Tip
Inline lifts allow the vehicle to roll if it isn't secured first.

Lift Here
Rear side chassis tube using the AGM Combo Hook.
Why
-
Provides another strong chassis lift point.
-
Positive engagement keeps the jack securely positioned.
-
Great option when suspension access is limited.
Watch Out
-
Install the Combo Hook pin attachment before lifting.
-
Verify the pin is fully seated in the chassis opening.
Trail Tip
The Combo Hook adds additional lifting options without contacting suspension components.
Preferred Front Lift

Lift Here
Front side chassis tube.
Why
-
Stable, repeatable lift.
-
Jack stands upright as the vehicle rises.
-
Keeps lifting forces aligned with the chassis.
Watch Out
-
Start with the base of the jack slightly farther under the vehicle than the top so the jack stands vertical as the suspension unloads.
Trail Tip
Confirm the jack pad is fully beneath the chassis tube before applying power.
Alternate Front Lift
📷 Photo
Lift Here
Front side chassis tube using the AGM Combo Hook.
Why
-
Provides another secure chassis lifting location.
-
Positive engagement helps prevent movement during the lift.
Watch Out
-
Verify the Combo Hook pin is fully seated before lifting.
Trail Tip
The Combo Hook allows you to access lift points that are difficult to reach with a standard pad.
Common Mistakes
-
Lifting on unsupported plastic.
-
Forgetting to chock a tire during inline lifts.
-
Starting lug nuts with an impact.
-
Tightening lug nuts in a circle.
-
Crawling under a vehicle supported only by a jack.
Trail Safety Checklist

Questions We Hear Most
Why is the trailing arm the preferred rear lift?
It minimizes suspension travel, lifts the tire quickly, and allows the jack to stabilize against the suspension spring.
Why use the Combo Hook?
It creates additional secure chassis lift points while positively locating the jack during the lift.
Why should the jack lean slightly inward before lifting?
As the vehicle rises, the jack naturally stands vertical, creating a more stable lifting position.
Should I loosen the lug nuts before lifting?
Yes, if you're using hand tools. An impact makes this less important.
Do I need a torque wrench?
Always torque the lug nuts to Polaris specifications as soon as one is available.
