point
on both halves
Lowest
elevation
At the highest position the weight is
transferred to the track. The rear ad-
juster blocks should be adjusted to suit
the driver's preference.
. . CAUTION: Always turn the left
. . side adjuster blocks in a clock-
wise direction, the right side blocks in a
counter-clockwise direction. Left and
right adjuster blocks of each adjust-
ment must always be set at the same
elevation.
Drive Pulley (roller square
shaft type, dual carburetor
models only)
Inspect the Duralon bushing condition
by checking the free-play of the sliding
half pulley. This is achieved by
restrain-
ing the inner half and checking
if
the
sliding half moves in the direction of
the arrows more than 3 mm
(1/8").
If
so, contact your dealer.
When the front adjuster blocks are at
the lowest elevation more weight is
distributed on the skis.
Suspension Condition
Visually inspect all suspension compo-
nents incfuding slider shoes, springs,
wheels, etc ...
O NOTE: During normal driving,
snow will act as a lubricant and
coolant for the slider shoes. Extensive
riding on ice or sanded snow, (not to
mention dirt, asphalt, etc. never re-
commended) will create excessive heat
build-up and cause premature slider
shoe wear.
Suspension Adjustment
The suspension is adjustable, the front
adjustment for surface condition, the
rear for driver's weight.
Tighten lock nuts and recheck the
alignment. Ensure to retighten the idler
wheel retaining screws.
