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 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 Front Lift
Lift Here
Flatter portion of the lower control arm outside the shock centerline.
Why
• Preferred front lift point for the AGM Manual Jack Sport.
• Lifts closer to the wheel.
• Requires less jack travel than chassis lifting.
• Helps the control arm support the lift when aligned correctly.
Watch Out
• Stay outside the centerline of the shock whenever possible.
• Avoid high-angled surfaces on the control arm.
• Position the lift pad so it follows the same plane as the arm.
Trail Tip
Use the jack body against the upper control arm as a second point of contact when possible.
Alternate Front Lift
Lift Here
Factory chassis tube hole using the Combo Hook pin attachment.
Why
• Good option if the suspension angle is too steep.
• Lifts directly from the chassis.
• Avoids suspension geometry during the lift.
• Useful on vehicles with significant ground clearance.
Watch Out
• Remove the standard hook and pad before installing the pin attachment.
• Index the pin fully into the factory chassis hole.
• Position the jack base slightly farther inward than the top.
Trail Tip
As the vehicle lifts, the jack will naturally move into a more stable vertical position.
Need More Lift Height?
Lift Here
Use the same lift point after raising the adjustment collar.
Why
• Long-travel suspension can require additional lift height.
• The Pro R track width narrows as the suspension extends.
• A second lift can provide enough height to complete the repair.
Watch Out
• Lower the vehicle before adjusting the jack.
• Retract the jack before raising the adjustment collar.
• Confirm the jack is stable before lifting again.
Trail Tip
Raise the adjustment collar one or two positions, reposition the jack, and lift again if the tire is not fully off the ground.
Preferred Rear Lift
Lift Here
Rear lower control arm.
Why
• Preferred rear lift point for the AGM Manual Jack Sport.
• Lifts close to the wheel.
• Reduces the suspension travel needed to clear the tire.
• Helps speed up trail-side repairs.
Watch Out
• Place the lifting pad beneath the lower control arm.
• Position the GroundLoc pad slightly farther inward than the top.
• Use multiple points of contact whenever possible.
Trail Tip
Allow the jack to move toward vertical during the lift for better stability.
Alternate Rear Lift
Lift Here
Upper radius rod.
Why
• Good backup if the lower control arm is not accessible.
• Provides another rear lifting option.
• Useful when repair access limits lower control arm lifting.
Watch Out
• Use the flat lifting pad.
• Match the angle of the radius rod as closely as possible.
• Avoid lifting from the outside of the lower radius rod when possible.
Trail Tip
Adjust the jack angle as needed to maintain solid contact throughout the lift.
Accessory Lift
Lift Here
Structural accessories (bumpers, roll cage, nerf bars, etc.) using the V-groove top cap.
Why
• Adds additional lifting options.
• Useful with some aftermarket bumpers.
• Can work with nerf bars or other structural accessories.
• Helpful when additional suspension droop is needed.
Watch Out
• Confirm the accessory can support the vehicle's weight.
• Do not lift from cosmetic or unsupported accessories.
• Verify the jack is stable before beginning the repair.
Trail Tip
The V-groove top cap can be useful for axle replacement or suspension service when you need the suspension to hang lower.
Common Mistakes
• Lifting from unsupported skid plate areas.
• Using steep lower radius rod angles when better lift points are available.
• 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.
