Wheel Nut Installation
The wheel nuts on your ATV have been installed with thread locker as
an extra measure to ensure retention. This feature is intended to last
until the wheel nuts are removed. NOTE: Wheel nut removal will be
more difficult when thread locker has been used.
You have been supplied with replacement thread locker which you
must use whenever reinstalling wheel nuts. Place one drop on the lug
before installing and tightening to 30 ft. lbs. NOTE: Always use
Polaris thread locker (PN 2870963) or equivalent when replacing
wheel nuts. Always check wheel nut tension before riding your ATV.
