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 Manual 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.
Why
• Preferred front lift point for the AGM Manual Jack PRO.
• Lifts close to the wheel.
• Requires less jack travel than chassis lifting.
• Creates a stable lift when aligned correctly.
Watch Out
• Avoid the angled inner section whenever possible.
• Make sure the jack body contacts the upper arm for a second point of contact.
• Start with the jack slightly angled so it becomes vertical as the suspension rises.
Trail Tip
Keep the lifting pad on the flatter portion of the control arm for the most stable front lift.
Alternate Front Lift
Lift Here
Factory lower chassis tube holes using the Combo Hook pin attachment.
Why
• Good option if the lower control arm angle is steep.
• Lifts directly from the chassis.
• Avoids contacting suspension components.
• Useful on vehicles with significant ground clearance.
Watch Out
• Index the pin fully into the factory lower chassis tube hole.
• Confirm the attachment is secure before lifting.
• Verify the jack remains stable as the vehicle rises.
Trail Tip
Use this lift point when terrain, suspension setup, or personal preference makes 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 additional height without changing lift points.
Watch Out
• Lower the jack completely before adjusting the collar.
• Raise the adjustment collar before repositioning the jack.
• Confirm the jack is stable before lifting again.
Trail Tip
Lower the vehicle, raise the adjustment collar, reposition the jack, and lift again if the tire is not fully off the ground.
Preferred Rear Lift
Lift Here
Trailing arm.
Why
• Preferred rear lift point for the AGM Manual Jack PRO.
• Provides a stable rear lifting platform.
• Lifts close to the wheel.
• Helps reduce the amount of suspension travel needed.
Watch Out
• Position the jack beneath the trailing arm.
• Begin with the jack slightly angled.
• Maintain multiple points of contact whenever possible.
Trail Tip
Allow the jack to move toward vertical as the vehicle rises.
Alternate Rear Lift
Lift Here
Upper radius rod.
Why
• Good backup if the trailing arm is not accessible.
• Provides another rear lifting option.
• Useful when repair access limits trailing arm lifting.
Watch Out
• Adjust the jack collar angle to match the suspension geometry.
• Position the lifting pad as parallel to the rod as possible.
• Avoid lifting from the lower radius rod.
Trail Tip
Confirm stability before continuing the lift, especially when using radius rod lift points.
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 a Manual Jack PRO?
For most repairs, lift from the lower control arm in the front and the trailing arm in the rear.
Where are the front lift points on a Polaris Pro R?
The lower control arm is the preferred front lift point. The factory chassis tubes can also be used with the Combo Hook pin attachment.
Where are the rear lift points on a Polaris Pro R?
The trailing arm is the preferred rear lift point. The upper radius rod can also be used as an alternate.
Can I lift a Polaris Pro R by the radius rods?
The upper radius rod can be used as an alternate lift point. Avoid the lower radius rod because its angle can reduce stability.
What should I do if I need more lift height?
Lower the jack, raise the adjustment collar, reposition the jack, and lift again.
