MAINTENANCE
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. Position the vehicle on a level
surface.
2. Set the handlebars in a
straight-ahead position
and secure them in this
position.
3. Place a chalk mark on the
center line of the front
tires approximately 10
″
(25.4 cm) from the floor,
or as close to the hub/axle
center line as possible.
Make sure both marks are
the same distance from
the floor.
4. Measure the distance between the marks and record the
measurement (A).
5. Move the vehicle until the chalk marks are at the rear of the tires,
even with the hub/axle centerline.
6. Measure the distance between the marks and record the
measurement (B).
7. Subtract measurement B from measurement A. The difference is
the vehicle toe-out alignment.
NOTE: If you discover improper alignment, see your Polaris dealer
for service.
