MAINTENANCE

Steering System

The steering systems on Polaris snowmobiles have the following adjustments:
D

Ski toe or alignment

D

Handlebar centering

D

Spindle camber

Improper adjustment of these components can cause erratic steering. Consult

your dealer if a need for adjustment should become necessary.

Steering Inspection and Adjustment

The steering assembly of the

machine should be checked pe-

riodically for loose nuts and

bolts. See A,B,C,D,E,F and G in

illustration at right.

With handlebars in straight

ahead position and measuring

from the straight edge of the

skis, the measurement between

the skis at point H should be 1/8

to 1/4 inches greater than point

I. Refer to illustrations on page

99 for component locations.

NOTE:

This measurement

should be taken with the vehicle

weight compressing the sus-

pension If the skis are misa-

ligned, we recommend that your

dealer correct this, as the cam-

ber adjustment may also be af-

fected.

WARNING

Do not attempt to change the ski

alignment or camber adjust-

ment.

Contact your Polaris

dealer. Improper alignment or

adjustment may cause loss of

steering control, resulting in se-

rious injury or death.
