MAINTENANCE
Steering Inspection
The steering assembly of the machine should be checked periodically for loose
nuts and bolts. If loose nuts and bolts are found, have your dealer tighten them
before riding your vehicle.
Camber and Caster
The camber and caster are non-adjustable.
Toe Alignment
You can check the toe align-
ment of the vehicle using the fol-
lowing method. The recom-
mended toe alignment is 1/8″ to
1/4″ (.3 to .6 cm) toe out. If you
discover improper adjustment
have your dealer correct it.
1. Set the handlebars in a
straight ahead position and
hold them in this position.
NOTE: The steering frog
can be used as an indicator
of whether the handlebars
are straight. The frog should
always point straight back
from the steering post.
2. Place stands in front of the
machine, perpendicular to
the rear tires.
3. Tie an elastic string around
the machine, making sure
string just touches side sur-
face of the rear tires on each
side of machine and goes
around the stands in front of
the machine.
4. Measure from string to rim at
front and rear of front rim.
Rear rim measurement
should be 1/16″ - 1/8″ (.2 to
.3 cm) more than front rim
measurement.
5. If this measurement needs to be adjusted, contact your dealer for service.
WARNING: Do not attempt to adjust the tie rod for toe alignment. Severe
injury or death can result from improper adjustment. Contact your Polaris dealer.
He/she has the training and tools to make these adjustments.
