MAINTENANCE
2
Replace any worn or damaged steering components. Steering
should move freely through entire range of travel without
binding. Check routing of all cables, hoses, and wiring to be sure
the steering mechanism is not restricted or limited.
NOTE: Whenever steering components are
replaced, check front end alignment. Use only
genuine Polaris parts.
Controls
Check controls for proper operation, positioning and
adjustment.
Handlebars
If desired, the handlebars can be adjusted for rider preference.
1. Loosen the four bolts and adjust the handlebar to the
desired height. Be sure the handlebars do not contact the
gas tank or any other part of the machine when turned fully
to the left or right.
2. Torque the rear two bolts to 11 ft. lbs. (15 Nm), then torque
the front two bolts. A gap of up to 1/8” will remain at the
rear bolts.
Wheel Alignment
One of two methods can be used to measure toe alignment. The
string method and the chalk method. If adjustment is required,
refer to following for procedure.
METHOD 1: USING A STRAIGHTEDGE OR STRING
1. Position the vehicle on a level surface.
NOTE: Always measure toe alignment on a flat
ground surface.
2. Place the handlebars in a straight-ahead position. Use tie
straps to secure the handlebars to the rear grab bar so they
can’t move.
3. Place stands (1) in front of the vehicle, perpendicular to the
rear tires. See illustration below.
4. Tie an elastic string (2) around the stands, making sure the
string just touches the side surface of the rear tires on each
side of the vehicle and goes around the stands in front of
the vehicle.
WARNING
Due to the critical nature of the procedures outlined in
this chapter, Polaris recommends steering component
repair and adjustment be performed by an authorized
Polaris MSD certified technician when replacing
worn or damaged steering parts.
Use only genuine Polaris replacement parts.
WARNING
Improper adjustment of the handlebars or incorrect
torquing of the adjuster lock bolts can cause limited
steering of the handle bars, which could result in
loss of control and serious injury or death.
