MAINTENANCE

Toe Alignment

Use the following procedure to check the toe alignment of the vehicle.

The recommended toe alignment is 1/8" to 1/4" (3-6 mm) toe out.

WARNING! Severe injury or death can result from improper toe alignment and

adjustment. Do not attempt to adjust tie rod alignment. All tie rod adjustments

should be performed by an authorized Polaris dealer.

1. Position the vehicle on a

level surface.

2. Set the handlebars in a

straight-ahead position

and secure them in this

position.

3. Place a chalk mark on the

center line of the front

tires approximately 10"

(25.4 cm) from the floor,

or as close to the hub/axle

center line as possible.

Make sure both marks are

the same distance from

the floor.

4. Measure the distance between the marks and record the

measurement (1).

5. Move the vehicle until the chalk marks are at the rear of the tires,

even with the hub/axle center line.

6. Measure the distance between the marks and record the

measurement (2).

7. Subtract measurement 2 from measurement 1. The difference is the

vehicle toe-out alignment.

8. If you discover improper alignment, see your Polaris dealer for ser-

vice.
