Steering Wheel Inspection - Polaris BRUTUS Owner's Manual

Steering Wheel Inspection

Check the steering wheel for specified freeplay and smooth
operation at the intervals outlined in the Periodic Maintenance
Chart beginning on page 78.
1. Position the vehicle on level ground.
2. Lightly turn the steering wheel left and right.
3. There should be 0.8"-1.0" (20-25 mm) of freeplay.
4. If there is excessive freeplay or strange noises, or the
steering feels rough or "catchy," have the steering system
inspected by an authorized POLARIS dealer.
