properly inflated to the recommended pressure.

push down or lift up on the front end; then turn the
handlebar to the straight ahead position.

should be a normal operating load on the ATV (with-

sories).

handlebar grip to equal reference points on each side.

ments are equal; then secure the handlebar.
NOTE: Care must be taken not to allow the handle-
