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.
