MAINTENANCE
Steering Wheel Inspection
Check the steering wheel for specified freeplay and smooth operation at
the intervals outlined in the Periodic Maintenance Chart beginning on
page 50.
1. Position the vehicle on a level surface.
2. Lightly turn the steering wheel left and right.
3. There should be 0.8"-1.0" (20-25 mm) of freeplay.
4. If there is excessive freeplay or strange noises, or the steering feels
rough or "catchy," have the steering system inspected by an autho-
rized POLARIS dealer.
Spring Adjustment
Adjust the front and rear shock absorber springs
by rotating the adjustment cam either clockwise
or counter-clockwise to increase or decrease
spring tension.
