MAINTENANCE

Toe Alignment

Use the following procedure to check the toe alignment of the vehicle.

The recommended toe alignment is 3-6 mm toe out.
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 illustra-

tion. Position the stands

so that the string is flush

with the side of the rear

tire.

NOTE: 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 2-3 mm more than the front mea-

surement on each side of the vehicle to obtain the recommended 3-6

mm toe out alignment.

5. Repeat the measurement procedure on the other side of the vehicle.

NOTE:

If you discover improper alignment, see your Polaris dealer for service.

WARNING

Do not attempt to adjust alignment. All steering adjustments should be per-

formed by an authorized Polaris dealer.
