Suspension - Arctic Cat ZR 3000 Operator's Manual

3. After proper track alignment is
obtained, tighten the idler wheel
axle cap screw to 34 ft-lb; then
tighten the adjusting bolts securely
against the axle.
! WARNING
Always make sure the adjusting bolts
are snug against the axle and the
idler wheel cap screws are tightened
to specifications. Failure to do so
could cause the track to become
extremely loose and, under some
operating conditions, allow the idler
wheels to climb over the track lugs
forcing the track against the tunnel
causing the track to "lock." If a track
"locks" during operation, severe per-
sonal injury could result.
4. Field test the track under actual con-
ditions.
5. After the field test, check the align-
ment of the track. If additional adjust-
ment is necessary, repeat Adjusting
Track Alignment procedure.

Suspension

The suspension should be adjusted for
the operational needs and riding prefer-
ence of the operator.
The front shock springs determine the
amount of ski pressure and the reaction
of the front suspension to rough terrain.
The amount of ski pressure can also be
changed by adjusting the length of the
skid frame front arm limiter straps.
On standard models, the rear arm shock
absorber spring influences the load carry-
ing capability of the snowmobile and
should be adjusted for the weight and rid-
ing preference of the operator.

NOTE: On Sno Pro models with a
rear arm float shock, this adjustment
is achieved by
decreasing the air pressure in the
rear arm air shock absorber.
