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 posi-
tion.

2. Place stands in front of

the vehicle, perpendicu-
lar 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
measurement 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.
