Handlebar Adjustment; Backrest Adjustment - Polaris 2002 Snowmobile Owner's Manual

Handlebar Adjustment

Follow these steps to adjust the handlebars for a personal fit.
1 Remove the handlebar cover to
expose the handlebar and the four
adjuster block bolts (A).
2 Using a 7/16" (11 mm) wrench,
loosen the four nuts on the bottom of
the adjuster block (turn handlebar to
left or right for access to back nuts).
NOTE: It may be necessary to pry the
adjuster blocks apart with a screw driver.
3 Adjust the handlebar to the desired height. Be sure handlebars, brake
lever and throttle lever operate smoothly and do not hit the gas tank,
windshield or any other part of the machine when turned fully to the
left or right.
4 Torque the handlebar adjuster block bolts to 11-13 ft. lbs. (1.5-1.8
kg/m).
5 Replace handlebar cover.

Backrest Adjustment

The passenger backrest on some
models is adjustable.
To move the backrest forward or
backward, lift the adjustment
lever on the left side (1).
When adjusting the backrest from
a passenger position to a single
rider position, rotate the backrest
cushion adjustment knobs (2)
until the proper angle is reached.
The grab bars have five height
adjustments. To raise or lower the
grab bar, remove the grab bar
adjuster knob (3), position the grab bar at the desired height, and
reinstall the knob.
Some models are also equipped with passenger handwarmers. The
switch (4), located under the left- -hand wind deflector, has three
settings: High, Off, and Low.
To lengthen or shorten the backrest cable, lift the cable until spring
tension is felt and lock the jam nut.
