MAINTENANCE AND LUBRICATION

Steering Wheel Inspection

Check the steering wheel for specified freeplay and smooth operation
as outlined in the Periodic Maintenance Schedule.
1. Park the vehicle on level ground.
2. Lightly turn the steering wheel left and right.
3. There should be 0.8 - 1.0 in (20 - 25 mm) of free play.
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.

Rear Spring Adjustment

The rear shock absorber springs are adjusted by rotating
the adjustment cam (1) either clockwise or
counterclockwise to increase or decrease spring tension.
