14. Start the engine and let it idle for one to two minutes. Stop
the engine and inspect for leaks.
15. Re-check the oil level on the dipstick and add oil as
necessary to bring the level to the upper mark on the
dipstick.
16. Dispose of used filter and oil properly.
Steering Inspection
The steering components should be checked periodically for
loose fasteners, worn tie rod ends, and damage. Also check to
make sure all cotter pins are in place. If cotter pins are removed,
they must not be re-used. Always use new cotter pins.
Replace any worn or damaged steering components. Steering
should move freely through entire range of travel without
binding. Check routing of all cables, hoses, and wiring to be
sure the steering mechanism is not restricted or limited.
NOTE:
Whenever steering components are
replaced, check front end alignment. Use only
genuine Polaris parts.
One of two methods can be used to measure toe alignment. The
string method and the chalk method. If adjustment is required,
refer to following pages for procedure.
Tie Rod / Steering
• To check for play in the tie rod end, grasp the steering
tie rod, pull in all directions feeling for movement.
• Repeat inspection for inner tie rod end on steering post.
• Replace any worn steering components. Steering
should move freely through entire range of travel
without binding.
• Elevate front end of machine so front wheels are off the
ground. Check for any looseness in front hub / wheel
assembly by grasping the tire firmly at top and bottom
first, and then at front and rear. Try to move the wheel
and hub by pushing inward and pulling outward.
• If abnormal movement is detected, inspect the hub and
wheel assembly to determine the cause ( possible loose
wheel nuts or loose front hub components).
• Refer to the Body/Steering Chapter 5 or Final Drive
Chapter 7 for service procedures.
Camber/Caster
Camber and caster are non-adjustable.
Recommended Engine Oil:
2W/50 Synthetic
Oil Filter Wrench: (PV-43527)
Oil Filter Torque: Turn by hand until filter
gasket contacts sealing surface, then turn an
additional 1/2 turn
WARNING
Due to the critical nature of the procedures outlined
in this chapter, Polaris recommends steering
component repair and adjustment be performed by
an authorized Polaris MSD-certified technician
when replacing worn or damaged steering parts.
Use only genuine Polaris replacement parts.
Check for loose wheel or hub.
