MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION
Toe Alignment
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.
Use the following procedure to check the toe alignment of the vehicle.
The recommended toe alignment is 1/8″ to 1/4″ toe out.
1. Set the handlebars in a
straight-ahead position.
NOTE: The steering frog can be
used as an indicator of
whether the handlebars
are straight. The frog
should always point
straight back from the
steering post.
2. Place stands (1) in front of
the vehicle, perpendicular to
the rear tires. See
illustration.
3. Tie an elastic string around
the stands, m aking 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 (2).
4. Measure the distance from the string to the rim at the front and rear
of the front rim (3). Rear measurement should be 1/16″ -1/8″ (.2
to .3 cm) more than the front measurement.
NOTE: If you discover improper alignment, see your Polaris dealer
for service.
Steering Assembly
The steering assembly of the ATV should be checked periodically for
