High Speed Compression Adjuster The High speed adjuster modifies the damping force for high sus- pension velocities — more than 0.5 m/s (1.6 ft/s). It tunes the ve- hicle for hoops or bumps that create high speed movement in the suspension.
62) Pre-Heat Switch Racing Application Only NOTE: This switch is disabled (not operative) on vehicles modified for warranty validation. To run engine with 91 octane number fuel (R + M)/2 inside North America (95 RON outside North America), this switch must be disabled. A33E0SA 1.
FUEL AND OIL Recommended Fuel Vehicles with Valid Warranty (Pre-Heat Switch Disabled) Use Premium unleaded gasoline or oxygenated gasoline containing less than 10% of ethanol or 5% of methanol. In North America, use gasoline with an octane number of 91 (R + M)/2.
CAUTION: Use only oil that can flow at - 40°C (- 40°F). Oil must be mixed with fuel in proper ratio in a jerrycan then, be poured in the fuel tank. Use only two-stroke engine injection oil, sold by authorized SKI-DOO dealers. MODEL...
