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" (3-6 mm) toe out.
1. Place the handlebars in a

straight-ahead position.

2. Place stands in front of

the vehicle, perpendicular

to the rear tires.

3. Tie an elastic string

around the stands, mak-

ing sure the string just

touches the side surface

of the rear tires on each

side of the vehicle and

goes around the stands in

front of the vehicle.

4. Measure the distance

from the string to the rim

at the front and rear of the

front rim. Rear measure-

ment should be 1/16" to

1/8" (2-3 mm) more than

the front measurement.

NOTE:

If you discover

improper alignment,

see your Polaris dealer

for service.

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.
