WA RNING: The ball joint socket
must run parallel with the steer-
ing arm. The socket must be restrained
when tightening the tie rod end lock
nuts.
Check the condition of the skis and the
ski runners. Replace if worn more than
half.
Steering Adjustment
Skis should have a toe out of 3 mm
(1/S
u
).
To check, measure the distance
between each ski at the front and rear
of the leaf springs. The front distance
should be 3 mm
(1/S")
more than the
rear when the handlebar is horizontal.
IMPORTANT: Close the front of the
skis manually to eliminate all slack from
the steering mechanism.

If adjustment is required:
Loosen the lock nuts of the longer tie
rod. Turn the tie rod manually until the
skis are properly aligned. Firmly re-
tighten the lock nuts.
The handlebar should also be hori-
zontal when the skis are pointed to-
ward the front.
To adjust:
Loosen the lock nuts of the shorter tie
rod. Turn the tie rod manually until the
handlebar is horizontal. Retighten the
lock nuts firmly.
Muffler attachment
The engine/exhaust system parts are
vital toward efficient muffler function.
Check all attachments. Replace the
springs and/or tighten if necessary.
On fan cooled models, ensure that the
forced flow system is well aligned and
tightened .
. . . CAUTION: Do not operate vehi-
. . cle with muffler disconnected
otherwise serious engine damage will
occur.
