TROUBLESHOOTING
Solution
• Increase torsion spring preload
• Increase rear shock compression damping by turning
screw clockwise
• Increase torsion spring wire diameter (see your dealer)
• Rotate RRSS to a higher position. See page 39.
• Check for binding suspension shafts and grease all
pivot points
• Decrease torsion spring preload adjustments
• Decrease rear shock compression valving by turning
screw counterclockwise)
• Check for proper track tension
• Rotate RRSS to a lower position. See page 39.
• Make sure skis are aligned properly
• Make sure spindles and all steering components are
free turning
• Make sure skags are straight on skis
• Check rail slide and replace if worn
• Reduce ski pressure:
A) Increase front track spring preload
B) Reduce IFS spring preload
C) Reduce rear torsion spring preload
• Check for worn skags
• Check for binding suspension shafts and grease all
pivot points
• Increase IFS spring preload by adjusting cam or
threaded adjuster
• Adjust RRSS to a higher position
• Check ski alignment
• Check skags and skis for damage
• Reduce ski pressure:
A) Increase front track spring preload
B) Reduce IFS spring preload by adjusting cam
C) Reduce rear torsion spring preload
• Make sure spindles and all steering components are
free turning (elevate machine to check)
• Rotate RRSS to a higher position. See page 39.
• Move RRSS to the rearward upper hole on high posi-
tion. See page 39.
