FEATURES AND CONTROLS

WARNING

Brake Systems

Never back down a hill. Applying the auxiliary brake when backing down a hill may cause rear tipover, which could result in serious injury or death.

Use caution when applying the rear brake. Do not aggressively apply the rear brake when going forward. The rear wheels may skid and slide sideways, causing loss of control, which may result in serious injury or death.

Operating the vehicle with a spongy brake lever can result in loss of braking, which could cause an accident. Never operate the vehicle with a spongy-feeling brake lever. Always contact your dealer for service before operating the vehicle.

The braking system is controlled by the two brake levers located on the handlebars. The service brake (left lever) is an all-wheel brake. Use the service brake for normal braking. The auxiliary brake (right lever) is a middle axle rear brake only.

FEATURES AND CONTROLS

Brake Systems

Service Brake Lever

Squeeze the service brake lever (left lever) toward the handlebar to apply the front and rear brakes. These brakes are hydraulically activated disc brakes.

Always test brake lever travel and master cylinder fluid level before riding. When squeezed, the lever should feel firm. Any sponginess would indicate a possible fluid leak or low master cylinder fluid level, which must be corrected before riding. Contact your dealer for proper diagnosis and repairs.

Auxiliary Brake Lever

Squeeze the auxiliary brake lever (right lever) toward the handlebar to apply the middle axle (rear brake) only.

Use the auxiliary brakes for additional braking or for backup if the service brake system fails.

If the rear wheels slide while using the auxiliary brake, reduce brake lever pressure to brake the rear wheels without skidding.

FEATURES AND CONTROLS

WARNING

Master Cylinder/Brake Fluid

An over-full master cylinder may cause brake drag or brake lock-up, which could result in an accident. Maintain brake fluid at the recommended level. Do not overfill.

Never store or use a partial bottle of brake fluid. Brake fluid is hygroscopic, meaning it rapidly absorbs moisture from the air. The moisture causes the boiling temperature of the brake fluid to drop, which can lead to early brake fade and the possibility of brake failure, which could result in an accident. After opening a bottle of brake fluid, always discard any unused portion.

The master cylinders are located on the left and right handlebars. Check the fluid levels of both master cylinders before each use of the vehicle.

Indicator Windows

Master Cylinders

1. Position the vehicle on a level surface.

2. Position the handlebars so the master cylinders are level.

3. View the brake fluid level through the indicator window on the top

of the master cylinder. The eye will appear dark when the fluid level is full. When fluid is low, the eye will be clear.

4. If the fluid level is low add DOT 4 brake fluid only. Do not overfill.

FEATURES AND CONTROLS

Parking Brake

Locking the Parking Brake

1. Place the transmission in

park.

2. Squeeze and release the brake

lever two or three times, then squeeze and hold.

3. Push the parking brake lock

forward to engage the lock.

4. Release the brake lever.

5. To release the parking brake lock, squeeze and release the brake

Failure Description

OPERATION

WARNING

Failure to operate the vehicle properly can result in a collision, loss of control, accident or overturn, which may result in serious injury or death. Read and understand all safety warnings outlined in the safety section of this owner’s manual.

Break-In Period

The break-in period for your new POLARIS vehicle is the first 20 hours of operation. No single action on your part is as important as following the procedures for a proper break-in. Careful treatment of a new engine and drive components will result in more efficient performance and longer life for these components.

NOTICE: Excessive heat build-up during the first three hours of operation will

damage close-fitted engine parts and drive components. Do not operate at full throttle or high speeds during the first three hours of use.

OPERATION

Break-In Period

Engine and Drivetrain Break-in

1. Fill the fuel tank with gasoline. See page 33. Always exercise

extreme caution whenever handling gasoline.

2. Check the engine oil level on the dipstick. See page 84. Add oil if

necessary to maintain the level between the safe and add marks.

3. Drive slowly at first. Select an open area that allows room to

familiarize yourself with vehicle operation and handling.

4. Vary the throttle positions. Do not operate at sustained idle.

5. Perform regular checks on fluid levels, controls and areas outlined

on the daily pre-ride inspection checklist. See page 48.

6. Pull only light loads.

7. Change both the oil and the filter at 25 hours.

8. Check fluid levels of transmission and all gearcases after the first 25

hours of operation and every 100 hours thereafter.

PVT Break-in (Clutches/Belt)

A proper break-in of the clutches and drive belt will ensure a longer life and better performance. Break in the clutches and belt by operating at slower speeds during the break-in period as recommended. Pull only light loads. Avoid aggressive acceleration and high speed operation during the break-in period.

If a belt fails, always clean away all debris when replacing the belt.

7. Slowly depress the throttle with your right thumb and begin driving.

8. Drive slowly. Practice maneuvering and using the throttle and

brakes on level surfaces.

OPERATION

Turning the Vehicle

Your vehicle is equipped with a solid rear axle, which drives both rear wheels equally at all times. This means that the wheel on the outside of the turn must travel a greater distance than the inside wheel when turning and the inside tire must slip traction slightly.

T o turn, steer in the direction of the turn, leaning your upper body to the inside of the turn while supporting your weight on the outer footrest. This technique alters the balance of traction between the rear wheels, allowing the turn to be made smoothly. The same leaning technique should be used for turning in reverse.

Practice making turns at slow speeds before attempting to turn at faster speeds.

WARNING! Turning improperly can result in vehicle overturn. Never turn abruptly or at sharp angles. Never turn at high speeds.

OPERATION

Hauling Cargo

Dumping Cargo

1. Select a level site to dump the cargo.

Do not attempt to dump or unload the vehicle while parked on an incline.

2. Lock the parking brake.

3. Dismount the vehicle.

4. Check cargo distribution. If cargo

has shifted to the rear of the box, exercise caution.

WARNING! If the weight distribution in the box is located toward the rear of the box when the release lever is pulled forward, the box may dump on its own, which could cause serious injury. Never operate the dump lever without checking the position of the load. This will prevent unexpected dumping of the cargo box. Never carry passengers in the cargo box.

5. Pull the cargo box release lever forward.

6. Lift the front of the cargo box to dump the cargo.

7. Lower the cargo box. Make sure the latch is secure before operating.

WARNING! Operating with the cargo box in the raised position can cause serious injury and damage to the vehicle. The cargo box could close unexpectedly and injure the driver. The rear tires will also catch the rear of the box, damaging the vehicle and creating hazardous driving conditions. Never operate this vehicle with the cargo box in the raised position.

OPERATION

Parking on an Incline

Avoid parking on an incline if possible. If it's unavoidable, follow these precautions:

1. Stop the engine.

2. Place the transmission in park.

3. Lock the parking brake.

4. Always block the rear wheels on the downhill side.

WINCH GUIDE

WARNING

These safety warnings and instructions apply if your vehicle came equipped with a winch or if you choose to add an accessory winch to your vehicle.

Improper winch use can result in SEVERE INJURY or DEATH. Always follow all winch instructions and warnings in this manual.

Your winch may have a cable made of either wire rope or specially designed synthetic rope. The term “winch cable” will be used for either unless noted otherwise.

Winch Safety Precautions

1. Read all sections of this manual.

2. Never use alcohol or drugs before or while operating the winch.

3. Never allow children under 16 years of age to operate the winch.

4. Always wear eye protection and heavy gloves when operating the

winch.

5. Always keep body, hair, clothing and jewelry clear of the winch

cable, fairlead and hook when operating winch.

6. Never attempt to “jerk” a load attached to the winch with a moving

vehicle. See the Shock Loading section on page 75.

7. Always keep the area around the vehicle, winch, winch cable and

load clear of people (especially children) and distractions while operating the winch.

8. Always turn the vehicle ignition power OFF when it and the winch

are not being used.

9. Always be sure that at least five (5) full turns of winch cable are

wrapped around the winch drum at all times. The friction provided by this wrapped cable allows the drum to pull on the winch cable and move the load.

10. Always apply your vehicl e’s park brake and/or park mechanism to

hold the vehicle in place during winching. Use wheel chocks if needed.

WINCH GUIDE

Winch Safety Precautions

11. Always align the vehicle and winch with the load directly in front of

the vehicle as much as possible. Avoid winching with the winch cable at an angle to the winching vehicle’s centerline whenever possible.

12. If winching at an angle is unavoidable, follow these precautions:

A. Look at the winch drum occasionally. Never let the winch cable “stack”

or accumulate at one end of the winch drum. Too much winch cable at one end of the winch drum can damage the winch and the winch cable.

B. If stacking occurs, stop winching. Follow step 15 on page 73 to feed

and rewind the cable evenly before continuing the winch operation.

13. Never winch up or down at sharp angles. This can destabilize the

winching vehicle and possibly cause it to move without warning.

14. Never attempt to winch loads that weigh more than the winch’s

rated capacity.

15. The winch motor may become hot during winch use. If you winch

for more than 45 seconds, or if the winch stalls during operation, stop winching and permit the winch to cool down for 10 minutes before using it again.

16. Never touch, push, pull or straddle the

winch cable while winching a load.

17. Never let the winch cable run through

your hands, even if wearing heavy gloves.

18. Never release the clutch on the winch

when the winch cable is under load.

19. Never use the winch for lifting or

transporting people.

WINCH GUIDE

Winch Safety Precautions

20. Never use the winch to hoist or suspend a vertical load.

21. Never immerse or submerse your winch in water. Take your winch

to your dealer for service if this occurs.

22. Always inspe ct your winch and winch cable before each use.

23. Never winch the hook fully into the winch. This can cause damage

to winch components.

24. Unplug the remote control from the vehicle when the winch is not in

use to prevent inadvertent activation and use by unauthorized persons.

25. Never grease or oil the winch cable. This will cause the winch cable

to collect debris that will shorten the life of the cable.

Winch Operation

Read the Winch Safety Precautions in the preceding pages before using your winch.

Tip: Consider practicing the operation and use of your winch before you actually

need to use it in the field.

Improper winch use can result in SEVERE INJURY or DEATH. Always follow all winch instructions and warnings in this manual.

Each winching situation is unique.

• Take your time to think through the winching you are about to do.

• Proceed slowly and deliberately.

• Never hurry or rush during winching.

• Always pay attention to your surroundings.

• You may need to change your winching strategy if it is not working.

• Always remember that your winch is very powerful.

• There are simply some situations that you and your winch will not be able to deal with. Do not be afraid to ask others to help when this happens.

1. Always inspect the vehicle, winch, winch cable and winch controls for any signs of damage or parts in need of repair or replacement before each use. Pay particular attention to the first 3 feet (1 meter)

of winch cable if the winch is being used (or has been used) for lifting an accessory plow assembly. Promptly replace any worn or

damaged cable.

2. Never operate a winch or a vehicle in need of repair or service.

3. Always apply your vehicle’s

park brake and/or park mechanism to hold the vehicle in place during winching. Use wheel chocks if needed.

WINCH GUIDE

NO YES

Winch Operation

4. Always use the hook strap when handling the hook.

WARNING! Never put your fingers into the hook. This could lead to SEVERE INJURY.

A. Attach the hook itself onto the

load or use a tow strap or chain to secure the load to the winch cable.

Tip: A “tow strap” is NOT intended to stretch. A “recovery strap” is designed to

stretch.

WARNING! Never use a recovery strap when winching due to the excessive energy that can be released if the winch cable breaks. This can result in SEVERE INJURY or DEATH. See the Shock Loading section on page 75.

B. Never hook the winch cable back onto itself. This will damage the

winch cable and may result in winch cable failure.

WARNING! Replace the winch cable at the first sign of damage to prevent SEVERE INJURY or DEATH in the event of failure. For your safety, always replace POLARIS winch parts (including the cable) with genuine POLARIS replacement parts available at your authorized POLARIS dealer.

C. If possible, keep the winch cable aligned with the centerline of the

winching vehicle. This will help the spooling of the winch cable and reduce the load on the fairlead.

D. If freeing a stuck vehicle by attaching to a tree, use an item such as a

tow strap to avoid damaging the tree during winch operation. Sharp cables and chains can damage and even kill trees. Please remember to TreadLightly® (treadlightly.org).

E. Before operating the winch , be sure

that the safety latch on the winch cable hook is fully seated when the load is attached.

F. Never operate your winch with a

damaged hook or latch. Always replace damaged parts before using the winch.

YES

WINCH GUIDE

Winch Operation

5. Never remove the hook strap from the hook.

6. Release the winch clutch and pull out the winch cable.

7. Pulling out as much cable as possible maximizes the winch’ s pulling capacity. Always be sure that at least five (5) full turns of winch cable are wrapped around the winch drum at all times. The friction provided by this wrapped cable allows the drum to pull on the winch cable and move the load.

8. Read and adhere to the following information for winch damping to ensure safe winch use.

A. In order to absorb energy that could be released by a winch cable

failure, always place a “damper” on the winch cable. A damper can be a heavy jacket, tarp, or other soft, dense object. A damper can absorb much of the energy released if a winch cable breaks when winching. Even a tree limb can help as a damper if no other items are available to you.

B. Lay the damper on top of the mid-point of the winch cable length that is

spooled out.

C. On a long pull, it may be necessary to stop winching so that the

damper can be repositioned to the new mid-point of the winch cable. Always release the tension on the winch cable before repositioning the damper.

D. Avoid being directly in line with the winch cable whenever possible.

Also, never permit others to stand near or in line with the winch cable during winch operation.

9. Never hook the winch cable back onto itself. This will damage the winch cable and may result in winch cable failure.

10. Never use straps, chains or other rigging items that are damaged or worn.

WINCH GUIDE

Winch Operation

11. The ONLY time a winch-equipped vehicle should be moving when using the winch is when that vehicle itself is stuck. The winchequipped vehicle should NEVER be in motion to “shock” load the winch cable in an attempt to move a second stuck vehicle. See the Shock Loading section on page 75. For your safety, always follow these guidelines when winching a vehicle free:

A. Release the winch clutch and spool out the necessary length of winch

cable.

B. Align the winch cable as close as possible to the winching vehicle’s

centerline.

C. Attach the winch cable hook to the anchor point or the stuck vehicle’s

frame following instructions in this manual. D. Re-engage the clutch on the winch. E. Slowly winch in the slack in the winch cable. F. Select the proper veh icle gear to propel the stuck vehicle in the

direction of winching. G. Shift to the lowest gear available on the stuck vehicle. H. Slowly and carefully apply vehicle throttle and winch together to free

the vehicle. I. Stop winching as soon as the stuck vehicle is able to propel itself

without the help of the winch. J. Detach the winch cable hook. K. Rewind the winch cable evenly back onto the winch drum following the

instructions in this manual.

12. Never attempt to winch another stuck vehicle by attaching the winch cable to a suspension component, brush guard, bumper or cargo rack. Vehicle damage may result. Instead, attach the winch to a strong portion of the vehicle frame or hitch.

WINCH GUIDE

Winch Operation

13. Extensive winching will run down the battery on the winching vehicle. Let the winching vehicle’s engine run while operating the winch to prevent the battery from running low if winching for long periods.

14. The winch motor may become hot during winch use. If you winch for more than 45 seconds, or if the winch stalls during operation, stop winching and permit the winch to cool down for 10 minutes before using it again.

15. After winching is complete, especially if winching at an angle, it may be necessary to re-distribute the winch cable across the winch drum. You will need an assistant to perform this task.

A. Release the clutch on the winch. B. Feed out the winch cable th at is unevenly bunched up in one area. C. Re-engage the winch clutch. D. Have an assistant pull the winch cable tightly with about 100 lbs. (45

kg) of tension using the hook strap.

E. Slowly winch the cable in while your assistant moves the end of the

winch cable back and forth horizontally to evenly distribute the winch cable on the drum.

F. Doing this reduces the chances of th e winch cable “wedging” itself

between lower layers of winch cable.

WINCH GUIDE

Winch Cable Care

For your safety, always replace POLARIS winch parts (including the cable) with genuine POLARIS replacement parts available at your authorized POLARIS dealer.

WARNING! Use of worn or damaged cable could lead to sudden failure and SEVERE INJURY.

1. Always inspect your winch before each use. Inspect for worn or loose parts including mounting hardware. Never use the winch if any part needs repair or replacement.

2. Always inspect your winch cable before each use. Inspect for worn

or kinked winch cable.

A. A kinked winch cable made of

wire rope is shown at right. Even after being “straightened out,” this cable has already been permanently and severely damaged. Promptly discontinue use of a winch cable in this condition.

B. A kinked winch cable made of

wire rope that has been “straightened out” is shown at right. Even though it may look usable, the cable has been permanently and severely damaged. It can no longer transmit the load that it could prior to kinking. Promptly discontinue use of a winch cable in this condition.

C. A winch cable made of

synthetic rope should be inspected for signs of fraying. Replace the cable if fraying is observed (shown at right). Promptly discontinue use of a winch cable in this condition.

D. Also replace the winch cable if there are fused or melted fibers. Such

an area of the synthetic rope will be stiff and appear smooth or glazed. Promptly discontinue use of a winch cable in this condition.

WINCH GUIDE

Shock Loading

WARNING! Your winch cable is very strong but it is NOT designed for dynamic,

or “shock” loading. Shock loading may tension a winch cable beyond its strength and cause the cable to break. The end of a broken winch cable under such high loading can cause SEVERE INJURY or DEATH to you and other bystanders.

Winch cables are designed to NOT absorb energy. This is true of both wire-rope and synthetic-rope winch cables.

1. Never attempt to “jerk” a load with the winch. For example, never take up slack in the winch cable by moving the winching vehicle in an attempt to move an object. This is a dangerous practice. It generates high winch cable loads that may exceed the strength of the cable. Even a slowly moving vehicle can create large shock loads in a winch cable.

WARNING! SEVERE INJURY or DEATH can result from a broken winch cable.

2. Never quickly turn the winch ON and OFF repeatedly (“jogging”).

This puts extra load on the winch, winch cable, and generates excessive heat from the motor. This is a form of shock loading.

3. Never tow a vehicle or other object with your winch. Towing an

object with a winch produces shock loading of the cable even when towing at slow speeds. Towing from a winch also positions the towing force high on the vehicle. This can cause instability of the vehicle and possibly lead to an accident.

WINCH GUIDE

Shock Loading

4. Never use recovery straps with your winch. Recovery straps are designed to stretch and can store energy. This stored energy in the recovery strap is released if a winch cable fails making the event even more hazardous. Similarly, never use elastic “bungie” cords for winching.

5. Never use the winch to tie down a vehicle to a trailer or other transportation vehicle. This type of use also causes shock loading that can cause damage to the winch, winch cable, or vehicles used.

Your winch cable is designed and tested to withstand the loads produced by the winch motor when operated from a stationary vehicle. Always remember that the winch and winch cable are NOT designed for shock loading.

WINCH GUIDE

Winch Maintenance and Service Safety

WARNING! Improper or lack of winch maintenance and service could lead to

SEVERE INJURY or DEATH. Always follow all winch instructions and warnings in this manual.

1. Always inspect your winch before each use. Inspect for worn or kinked winch cable. Also inspect for worn or loose parts including mounting hardware.

2. Permit your winch motor to cool down prior to servicing your

winch.

3. Never work on your winch without first disconnecting the battery

connections to prevent accidental activation of the winch

4. For your safety, always replace POLARIS winch parts (including

the cable) with genuine POLARIS replacement parts available at your authorized POLARIS dealer.

5. Some winch models use wire rope as the winch cable. Other

winches use a specially designed synthetic rope as the winch cable.

6. Never replace a synthetic-rope winch cable with a consumer-grade

polymer rope such as can be purchased in a hardware store. Although they may look similar, they are NOT alike. A polymer rope not designed for winch use will stretch and store excessive energy when winching.

WARNING! Failure of a stretched rope under winching conditions will release all of the stored energy. This will increase the chances of SEVERE INJURY or DEATH.

Fluid Change

1. Position the vehicle on a level surface. Before performing the fluid

change, allow the vehicle to sit for at least 30 minutes.

2. Thoroughly clean the areas around and on the ADC reservoir and bleeder valves (one on each side of the differential).

3. Remove the reservoir cap and diaphragm assembly. Use a shop towel or suction tool to remove debris from the fluid and reservoir. Debris in the reservoir may result in inadequate bleeding and reduced performance of the system.

4. Fill the reservoir to the maximum line with fresh fluid.

5. Remove the protective caps from the bleeder valves.

6. Slowly loosen one of the bleeder valve screws (turn counterclockwise) and allow fluid and trapped air to flow from the fitting. Tighten the screw when clean fluid begins to flow. Repeat this step for the remaining valve.

IMPORTANT: Close the bleeder valve screws before the reservoir fluid level drops below the minimum fill line. Adding fluid to an empty reservoir will result in trapped air. If the level drops below the minimum line, add fluid to the maximum line and repeat step 6 before proceeding.

7. Torque the bleeder valve screws to 80 in. lbs. (9 Nm). Reinstall the bleeder valve caps.

8. Add fresh fluid to the reservoir until the level is between the minimum and maximum marks. Make sure the reservoir is free of debris.

9. Reinstall the cap securely.

10. Clean up any drips or spills.

MAINTENANCE

Cooling System

The engine coolant level is controlled, or maintained, by the recovery system. The recovery system components are the recovery bottle, the radiator filler neck, the radiator pressure cap and the connecting hose.

As coolant operating temperature increases, the expanding (heated) excess coolant is forced out of the engine, past the pressure cap, and into the recovery bottle. As engine coolant temperature decreases the contracting (cooled) coolant is drawn back up from the bottle, past the pressure cap, and into the radiator.

Some coolant level drop on new vehicles is normal as the system is purging itself of trapped air. Check the coolant level and maintain as recommended by adding coolant to the recovery bottle.

POLARIS recommends the use of POLARIS Antifreeze 60/40 premix or a 50/50 mixture of high quality aluminum compatible anti-freeze/ coolant and distilled water. POLARIS Antifreeze is already premixed and ready to use. Do not dilute with water. See page 136 for the part numbers of POLARIS products.

Always follow the manufacturer's mixing recommendations for the freeze protection required in your area.

Recovery Bottle Coolant

The recovery bottle is located on the left side of the vehicle.

1. Remove the left side panel. See page 98.

2. Maintain the coolant level

between the minimum and maximum marks on the bottle (when the fluid is cool).

3. Add coolant as needed.

To ensure that the coolant maintains its ability to protect the engine, POLARIS recommends that you drain the system completely every two years and add a fresh mixture of antifreeze and water.

Replace the coolant any time the cooling system has been drained for maintenance or repair. If the recovery bottle has run dry, check the level in the radiator. Add coolant as needed.

CAUTION! Escaping steam can cause burns. Never remove the pressure cap while the engine is warm or hot. Always allow the engine to cool before removing the pressure cap.

1. Open the front box cover..

2. Remove the access panel screws. Squeeze the outer edges of the panel inward to remove the panel.

3. Remove the pressure cap.

4. Using a funnel, slowly add coolant through the radiator filler neck.

5. Reinstall the pressure cap. Use of a non-standard pressure cap will not allow the recovery system to function properly. Contact your dealer for the correct replacement part.

6. Reinstall the access panel and secure the front box cover.

MAINTENANCE

3/64" (1 mm)

Brakes

Front/Rear/Middle Brakes

The front, rear and middle brakes are hydraulic disc brakes. These brakes are self-adjusting.

Under normal operation, the diaphragm extends into the reservoir as fluid level drops. If the fluid level is low and the diaphragm is not extended, a leak is likely and the diaphragm should be replaced. To ensure proper diaphragm operation, always fill the reservoir as needed whenever the cover is loosened or removed. Do not overfill.

WARNING! An over-full master cylinder may cause brake drag or brake lockup, which could result in serious injury or death. Maintain brake fluid at the recommended level. Do not overfill.

The following checks are recommended to keep the brake system in good operating condition. Check more often if brakes are used heavily under normal operation.

1. Always keep brake fluid at an adequate level. See page 31.

2. Check the brake system for fluid leaks.

3. Check the brakes for excessive travel or

spongy feel.

4. Check the friction pads for wear, damage

and looseness. Replace brake pads when they are worn to 3/64" (1 mm).

5. Check the security and surface condition

of the disc. Clean any grease using a recommended brake cleaner or alcohol. Do not use spray lubricants or other petroleum-based products. If you discover any damage (cracks, excessive corrosion, warping) see your dealer for service before operating.

MAINTENANCE

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 to e 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.
