You're in the Right Place If...
• You have a flat tire on a Polaris Xpedition.
• 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 Rear Lift

Why
• Preferred rear lift point for the AGM Electric Jack PRO.
• Strong lift point that runs nearly the full length of the vehicle.
• Easy to access from the side of the Xpedition.
• Creates a stable lift with multiple contact points.
Watch Out
• Open the rear door to create additional working room.
• Use the row of rocker panel fasteners as your reference.
• Position the lifting pad directly beneath the chassis tube.
Trail Tip
Start with the bottom of the jack slightly farther underneath the vehicle so the jack moves toward vertical as the vehicle rises.
Preferred Front Lift
Lift Here

Why
• Preferred front lift point for the AGM Electric Jack PRO.
• Quick access from the side of the vehicle.
• Reduces the need to work around suspension angles.
• Requires less jack travel than many suspension lift points.
Watch Out
• Open the front door for better access.
• Keep the lifting pad securely beneath the chassis tube.
• Confirm the jack is stable before continuing the lift.
Trail Tip
Use the body structure as a secondary point of contact when appropriate to help stabilize the lift.
Common Mistakes
• Lifting from unsupported skid plate areas.
• Lifting from plastic body panels.
• Missing the chassis tube beneath the rocker panel.
• Starting with the jack angled the wrong direction.
• 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 Xpedition with an Electric Jack PRO?
For most repairs, lift from the chassis tube located beneath the rocker panel.
How do I find the chassis tube on a Polaris Xpedition?
Look for the row of fasteners along the rocker panel. These fasteners thread directly into the chassis tube.
Why should the bottom of the jack start farther underneath the vehicle?
Starting with the bottom of the jack slightly farther underneath the vehicle allows the jack to move toward vertical as the suspension extends.
Can I lift a Polaris Xpedition from the suspension?
Yes, but for most trail-side repairs the chassis tube is simpler, faster, and easier to access.
Why does AGM prefer the chassis tube on the Xpedition?
The chassis tube provides a repeatable side lift point and helps reduce suspension-angle concerns during repairs.
How do I safely lift a Polaris Xpedition on the trail?
Move to flat ground whenever possible, place the vehicle in Park, chock a tire, and use a secondary support if you may need to work underneath the vehicle.
