Toe Alignment
Use the following procedure to check the toe alignment of the vehicle.
The recommended toe alignment is 1/8" to 1/4" (3-6 mm) toe out.
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.
1. Position the vehicle on a level
surface.
2. Place the handlebars in a
straight-ahead position.
3. Tie a length of string between
two stands as shown in the
illustration. Position the stands
so that the string is flush with
the side of the rear tire. If
available, you may use a long
straight-edge instead of string.
4. Measure the distance from the
string to the rim at the front (1)
and rear (2) of the front rim.
The rear measurement should
be 1/16"-1/8" (2-3 mm) more
than the front measurement on
each side of the vehicle to
obtain the recommended 1/8" to 1/4" (3-6 mm) toe out alignment.
5. Repeat the measurement procedure on the other side of the vehicle.
6. If you discover improper alignment, see your POLARIS dealer for
service.
