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.
