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. Place the handlebars in a
straight-ahead position.
3. Tie a length of string between
two stands as shown in the
illustration. Position the
stands so that the string is
flush with the side of the rear
tire. If available, you may use
a long straight-edge instead
of string.
4. Measure the distance from
the string to the rim at the
front (1) and rear (2) of the
front rim. The rear
measurement should be 1/
16"-1/8" (2-3 mm) more than
the front measurement on
each side of the vehicle to
obtain the recommended 1/8"
to 1/4" (3-6 mm) toe out
alignment.
5. Repeat the measurement procedure on the other side of the vehicle.
6. If you discover improper alignment, see your Polaris dealer for ser-
vice.
