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 Manual Jack Sport.
• 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 Manual Jack Sport.
• Easy to access from the side of the vehicle.
• Reduces the need to crawl underneath the vehicle.
• Creates a stable lifting position with two points of contact.
Watch Out
• Open the rear door to provide additional clearance.
• Use the row of rocker panel fasteners as your reference.

Trail Tip
The rocker panel fasteners thread directly into the chassis tube, making them an easy reference for locating the lift point.
Preferred Front Lift

Why
• Preferred front lift point for the AGM Manual Jack Sport.

Watch Out
• Open the front door to provide working room.

Trail Tip
As the vehicle rises, keep the lifting pad engaged with the tube and use the jack body as a second point of contact.
Common Mistakes
• Lifting from unsupported skid plate areas.
• Lifting from plastic body panels.
• Missing the chassis tube beneath the rocker panel.
• Not opening the door when extra clearance is needed.
• Starting lug nuts with an impact.

Questions We Hear Most
Where should I lift a Polaris Xpedition with a Manual Jack Sport?
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 does AGM prefer lifting from the side of the Xpedition?
Side lifting provides quick access to the chassis tube, reduces suspension-angle concerns, and often eliminates the need to crawl underneath the vehicle.
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.
Do I need to open the doors before lifting?
Opening the doors provides more working room and helps keep the jack clear of body panels.
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.
