STEERING WHEEL INSPECTION
Check the steering wheel for specified freeplay and smooth operation at the
intervals outlined in the Periodic Maintenance Chart.
1. Position the vehicle on level ground.

"catchy," have the steering system inspected by an authorized POLARIS
dealer or other qualified service facility before operating the vehicle.
