1. Thoroughly wash the ATV to remove excess weight
(mud, etc.).
2. Refer to the specifications and ensure the tires are
properly inflated to the recommended pressure.
 NOTE: Ensure the inflation pressure is correct in
the tires or inaccurate measurements can occur.
3. Place the ATV in a level position taking care not to
push down or lift up on the front end; then turn the
handlebar to the straight ahead position.
 NOTE: When measuring and adjusting, there
should be a normal operating load on the ATV (with-
out an operator but with Arctic Cat approved acces-
sories).
4. Measure the distance from the outside edge of each
handlebar grip to equal reference points on each.
5. Adjust the handlebar direction until the two measure-
ments are equal; then secure the handlebar to the rear
rack using tie-down straps.
 NOTE: Care must be taken not to allow the handle-
bar to turn while securing it.
6. Measure the distance from the inside of each front
rim to the lower frame tube.
