– Skis should have a toe-out of 10 mm (3/8 in)
when they are in a straight-ahead position and
the vehicle is resting on the ground.
NOTE:
To make sure skis are in a straight-ahead
position, place a straight edge against pre-adjusted
track and measure the distance between front
and rear of skis and straight edge. Distances
should be equal. After the ski toe-out adjustment,
distance at front of ski must be 5 mm (3/16 in)
more than at rear on both sides for a total toe-out
of 10 mm (3/8 in).
S-Series
Toe-out is 0 mm (0 in) when skis are in a straight-
ahead position and the front of vehicle is lifted off
the ground.
NOTE:

position, place a straight edge against pre-adjust-
ed track and measure the distance between front
and rear of skis and straight edge. Distances

distance must be equal.
