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 Scissor Jack.
• 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
Chassis tube beneath the rocker panel near the outer edge of the chassis.
Why
• Preferred front lift point for the AGM Scissor Jack.
• Provides a stable chassis lifting location.
• Keeps the Scissor Jack properly aligned throughout the lift.
• Avoids changing suspension angles.
Watch Out
• Position the jack directly beneath the chassis tube.
• Keep the lift head contacting the chassis tube itself.
• Avoid lifting farther inward where there is no chassis tube.
Trail Tip
If the jack is too far inward, it may push against the skid plate instead of the frame.
Preferred Rear Lift
Lift Here
Trailing arm mount using the saddle on the AGM 4-in-1 VersaLift head.
Why
• Preferred rear lift point for the AGM Scissor Jack.
• The saddle helps cradle the trailing arm mount.
• Provides additional stability during the repair.
• More stable than lifting from the trailing arm itself.
Watch Out
• Position the saddle around the trailing arm mount.
• Center the mount within the cradle.
• Verify the mount is fully captured before lifting.
Trail Tip
Confirm the jack remains stable throughout the lift before beginning the repair.
Alternate Rear Lift
Lift Here
Chassis rail beneath the rocker panel.
Why
• Good backup if the trailing arm mount is not accessible.
• Uses the same chassis rail as the front lift.
• Provides another stable lifting option.
Watch Out
• Position the lift head directly beneath the frame rail.
• Align the jack with the skid plate hardware to confirm chassis contact.
• Verify the jack remains centered throughout the lift.
Trail Tip
Use the skid plate hardware as a reference to help keep the jack aligned with the chassis.
Common Mistakes
• Lifting from unsupported skid plate areas.
• Using the lower control arm as the primary Scissor Jack lift point.
• Missing the chassis tube beneath the rocker panel.
• Removing the wheel before confirming the vehicle is stable.
• 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 a Scissor Jack?
For most repairs, lift from the front chassis tube and rear trailing arm mount.
Why shouldn't I lift from the lower control arm with a Scissor Jack?
As the suspension extends, the lower control arm angle changes. That can make the Scissor Jack less stable during the lift.
What is the best front lift point for a Polaris Pro R with a Scissor Jack?
The chassis tube beneath the rocker panel is the preferred front lift point.
What is the best rear lift point for a Polaris Pro R with a Scissor Jack?
The trailing arm mount is preferred because the 4-in-1 VersaLift saddle can cradle the mount for added stability.
Can I lift the rear from the chassis rail?
Yes. The chassis rail beneath the rocker panel can be used as an alternate rear lift point when the trailing arm mount is not accessible.
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.
