MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION

Toe Alignment

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.

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.
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 (A).

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

even with the hub/axle centerline.

6. Measure the distance between the marks and record the

measurement (B).

7. Subtract measurement B from measurement A. The difference is

the vehicle toe-out alignment.

NOTE: If you discover improper alignment, see your Polaris dealer

for service.
