MAINTENANCE

Steering System

Ski Alignment

With the handlebars in a straight ahead position, and with vehicle

weight compressing the suspension, measure from the straight edge of

the skis at the center of the ski mounting bolt. The measurement

between the skis at point X should be 1/8I to 1/4I (3-6 mm) greater

than the measurement at point Y.

NOTE: If the skis are misaligned, we recommend that your dealer cor-

rect the alignment, since camber adjustment may also be

affected.

WARNING

Improper ski alignment or adjustment may cause loss of steering control,

resulting in serious injury or death. Do not attempt to change the ski align-

ment or camber adjustment. See your Polaris dealer.
