MAINTENANCE
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 81.
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 autho-
rized POLARIS dealer.
Rear Spring
The rear shock absorber spring is adjusted
by rotating the adjuster either clockwise
or counter-clockwise to increase or
decrease spring tension.
Accessory springs are available through
your POLARIS dealer.
