Steering
and
Ski
Assembly
Alignment
Good
steering
ability
requires
that
the
skis
be
properly
set
and
aligned
with
the
sled
body when
the
steering
hand1:e
is
placed
in
the
straight-ahead
position
.
To
determine
that
the
skis
are
properly
aligned,
measure
the
distance
between
the
inside
edges
of
the
skis
at
the
front
end
and
at
the
rear.
Properly
aligned
skis
should
toe
out
0-
to
1/2-inch
maximum
at
the
front.
Therefore,
the
overall
measurement
at
the
front
end
of
the
skis
should
be
1/2
inch
greater
than
at
the
rear.
If
the
skis
or
steering
mechanism
are
not
properly
set,
adjust
as
follows.
•
Place
steering
handle
in
a
straight-ahead
posi
-
tion.
•
Remove
the
hood
assembly.
•
Remove
the
bolt
(1,
figure

the
spindle
arm.
•
Loosen
the
jam
nuts
(4)
securing
both
rod
end
bearings
(3)
to
the
tie
rod
(5).
NOTE:
If
both
skis
need
adjustment,
repeat
pro-
cedllre
for
the
opposite
ski.

inch
maximum
at
