MAINTENANCE

Steering System

Ski Alignment

WARNING! Improper ski alignment or adjustment may cause loss of steering
control, resulting in serious injury or death. Do not attempt to change the ski
alignment or camber adjustment. See your POLARIS dealer.

1. Place the handlebars in a straight-ahead position.

2. With only vehicle weight compressing the suspension, measure 10

inches (25.4 cm) forward from the center of the ski mounting bolt.
See illustration. At this point, measure between the skis. This is
measurement X.

3. Perform the same measurement rearward from the center of the ski

mounting bolt. This is measurement Y.

4. The X measurement should be 1/8-1/4 inch (3-6 mm) greater than

the Y measurement. If the skis are misaligned, see your dealer for
alignment correction as camber adjustment may also be affected.
