ADJUSTMENTS
ALIGNMENT
Parallelism must be adjusted with the ATV on the
ground, driving the vehicle forward about 3
meters [10 ft.] and measuring toe–in distance.
Refer to Figure 17.
NOTE: Every time the measurement has to be taken,
drive in reverse, then, drive forward again on
about 3 meters [10 ft.].
CAUTION: Verify condition of the steering system
components before adjusting parallelism.
Damaged components can prevent proper
adjustment and impair proper operation of the
system.
CAUTION: The parallelism adjustment of the front
Track Systems is very important and is directly
linked to the longevity of the system components.
Users must follow attentively the adjustment and
verification recommendations of this manual.

Dimension A:
represents the distance between
the inner front tires.
Dimension B:
represents the distance between
the inner back tires.
A - B = 0 to 3 mm [1/8 inch]
Adjustment Method
To adjust the ATV’s steering system, first loosen
coupling rod nuts (
1
), then screw or unscrew the
coupling rod (
2
) an equal number of revolutions
on both sides of the vehicle. Re-tighten nuts when
adjustment is complete. See Figure 18.
NOTE: Starting with an open alignment setting
provides a higher degree of precision in the
adjustment.
CAUTION: Remember that some nuts have reverse
threads before loosening a coupling rod nuts
(1)
on the vehicle's steering system. Make sure to
unlock the nut in the proper rotational direction.
Figure 18
NOTE: Once the parallelism adjustment of the front
Track Systems is completed, verify once more
to confirm the adjustment setting.
Dimension A
must be equal to or greater than
dimension B
without exceeding
3 mm
[1/8 inch].
