MAINTENANCE
2-24
1. Elevate front end of ATV so front wheels are off the
ground. Check for any looseness in front hub / wheel
assembly by grasping the tire firmly at top and bottom first,
and then at front and rear. Try to move the wheel and hub by
pushing inward and pulling outward.
2. If abnormal movement is detected, inspect the hub and
wheel assembly to determine the cause.
3. Remove the front wheels.
4. Grasp the steering tie rod and ball joint then pull in all
directions feeling for movement in the tie rod end.
TOE ALIGNMENT INSPECTION
1. Place machine on a smooth level surface.
NOTE:
Before measuring the toe-in, make sure that the tire
pressure is correct.
2. Set steering wheel in a straight-ahead position and secure
the steering wheel in this position.
3. Place a chalk mark on the center line of the front tires
approximately 25.4 cm (10”) from the floor or as close to the
hub/axle center line as possible.
NOTE: It is important that the height of both marks be
equally positioned in order to get an accurate
measurement.
4. Measure the distance between the marks and record the
measurement. Call this measurement “A”.
5. Rotate the tires 180-degree
by-moving vehicle forward or
backward. Position chalk marks facing rearward, even with the
hub/axle centerline.
6. Again measure the distance between the marks and record.
Call this measurement “B”. Subtract measurement “B” from
measurement “A”. The difference between measurements “A”
and “B” is the vehicle toe alignment.
The recommended vehicle toe tolerance is 1/8” to 1/4”
(.3 to .6 cm) toe out. This means the measurement at the front
of the tire (A) is 1/8” to 1/4” (.3 to .6 cm) wider than the
measurement at the rear (B).
Wheel Toe-Out:
(A) - (B) = 3 to 6 mm (1/8 - 1/4")
