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 inch (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
inches (25.4 cm) from the
floor, or as close to the
hub/axle center line as
possible. Make sure both
marks are the same dis-
tance 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
service.
