You're in the Right Place If...
• You have a flat tire on a Polaris Pro R.
• You want the safest lift points.
• You're using an AGM Electric Jack PRO.
• You want to avoid damaging your vehicle.
• You want to get back on the trail quickly.
Flat Tire Repair
• If using hand tools, loosen the lug nuts before lifting.
• Lift from the preferred lift point.
• Place a cooler, toolbox, spare tire, or similar size 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 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 gun to get you home.
Preferred Front Lift
Lift Here
Flatter portion of the lower control arm near the front shock centerline or slightly toward the wheel.
Why
• Preferred front lift point for the AGM Electric Jack PRO.
• Lifts close to the wheel.
• Requires less jack travel than chassis lifting.
• Creates a stable lift when multiple contact points are used.
Watch Out
• Avoid the steeper inner section whenever possible.
• Position the jack base slightly farther under the arm than the top of the jack.
• Confirm the jack base is sitting flat before continuing the lift.
Trail Tip
Use the lower control arm, upper arm, and jack body as multiple contact points to help stabilize the lift.
Alternate Front Lift
Lift Here
Factory chassis tube hole using the Combo Hook pin attachment.
Why
• Good option for vehicles with significant ground clearance.
• Lifts directly from the chassis.
• Avoids suspension geometry during the lift.
• Maintains excellent stability when the pin is fully engaged.
Watch Out
• Install the pin attachment in the Combo Hook before lifting.
• Index the pin fully into the factory chassis tube hole.
• Start with the jack slightly angled so it becomes vertical during the lift.
Trail Tip
Use this lift point when steeper suspension angles or terrain make the lower control arm less desirable.
Need More Lift Height?
Lift Here
Use the same lift point after raising the adjustment collar.
Why
• Deep sand, uneven terrain, or larger tires may require more lift height.
• The Pro R track width narrows as the suspension extends.
• A second lift can provide significantly more height without changing lift points.
Watch Out
• Lower the vehicle before adjusting the collar.
• Raise the adjustment collar before repositioning the jack.
• Confirm the jack is stable before lifting again.
Trail Tip
If the tire is not fully off the ground, lower the vehicle, raise the adjustment collar, reposition the jack, and lift again.
Preferred Rear Lift
Lift Here
Trailing arm.
Why
• Preferred rear lift point for the AGM Electric Jack PRO.
• Lifts close to the wheel.
• Reduces the suspension travel needed to clear the tire.
• Works well for most rear trail-side repairs.
Watch Out
• Place the GroundLoc pad beneath the trailing arm.
• Angle the jack so the pad is slightly farther away from you than the top of the jack.
• Confirm the jack base is sitting flat on uneven terrain.
Trail Tip
Use the shock body as a secondary contact point when possible to help keep the jack aligned.
Alternate Rear Lift
Lift Here
Upper radius rod.
Why
• Good backup if trailing arm access is limited.
• Provides another rear lifting option.
• Useful when repair access limits trailing arm lifting.
Watch Out
• Use the lifting pad rather than the hook.
• Rotate the lifting head as needed.
• Avoid lifting from the lower radius rod.
Trail Tip
Match the angle of the upper radius rod as closely as possible before lifting.
Accessory Lift
Lift Here
Structural accessories (bumpers, roll cages, nerf bars, etc.) using the V-groove top cap.
Why
• Adds additional lifting options.
• Useful with some aftermarket bumpers.
• Can work with rock sliders or side protection systems.
• Helpful for more involved trail-side repairs.
Watch Out
• Confirm the accessory is designed to support vehicle load.
• Do not lift from cosmetic or unsupported accessories.
• Verify the jack is stable before beginning the repair.
Trail Tip
The V-groove top cap can create useful lift options when your vehicle has structural accessories installed.
Common Mistakes
• Lifting from unsupported skid plate areas.
• Using the lower radius rod as a lift point.
• Skipping the second point of contact.
• Forgetting to use the adjustment collar when more lift height is needed.
• Starting lug nuts with an impact.
• Crawling under a vehicle supported only by a jack.
Trail Safety Checklist
✓ Move off the trail whenever possible.
✓ Park on level ground.
✓ Vehicle in Park.
✓ Four-wheel drive engaged if needed.
✓ Chock a tire if necessary.
✓ Use a secondary support before putting any part of your body underneath the vehicle.
Questions We Hear Most
Where should I lift a Polaris Pro R with an Electric Jack PRO?
For most repairs, use the lower control arm in the front and the trailing arm in the rear.
Why should the Electric Jack PRO start at an angle?
As the suspension extends, the vehicle moves away from the jack. Starting slightly angled helps the jack become vertical during the lift.
Can I lift a Polaris Pro R from the chassis?
Yes. The Combo Hook pin attachment can be used in the factory chassis tube holes.
Can I lift from aftermarket bumpers or sliders?
In some cases, yes. Only lift from structural accessories designed to support vehicle loads.
What should I do if I need more lift height?
Lower the vehicle, raise the adjustment collar, reposition the jack, and lift again.
How do I safely lift a Polaris Pro R on the trail?
Move to flat ground whenever possible, use the recommended lift points, chock a tire, and use a secondary support if you may need to work underneath the vehicle.
