MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION

Steering Wheel Inspection

Check the steering wheel for specified freeplay and smooth operation

as outlined in the Periodic Maintenance Schedule.
1. Park the vehicle on level ground.
2. Lightly turn the steering wheel left and right.
3. There should be 0.8 - 1.0 in (20 - 25 mm) of free play.
4. If there is excessive freeplay or strange noises, or the steering feels

rough or “catchy,” have the steering system inspected by an

authorized Polaris dealer.

Rear Spring Adjustment

The rear shock absorber springs are adjusted by rotating

the adjustment cam (1) either clockwise or

counterclockwise to increase or decrease spring tension.
