Front Suspension Adjustments; Shock Spring Preload; Shock Valving - Polaris 600 HO IQ Owner's Manual

Front Suspension Adjustments

Shock Spring Preload

The factory preload setting should be appropriate for most riders and
conditions. Please see your Polaris dealer for assistance before attempt-
ing to adjust preload.
Increasing the spring preload too much may adversely affect the han-
dling of the snowmobile and the performance of the rear suspension.
Decreasing the spring preload too much may allow the spring retainer to
fall off.
The springs can be changed if spring preload alone isn't sufficient and
further adjustment is desired to control suspension stiffness. See your
Polaris dealer for more information.

Shock Valving

Shocks can be revalved if spring preload alone isn't sufficient and fur-
ther adjustment is desired to control suspension stiffness.
Changing shock valving requires special tools and a sound knowledge of
mechanical theory, tool use, and shop procedures to perform the work safely
and correctly. Shocks contain high-pressure nitrogen gas. Use extreme cau-
tion when handling high-pressure service equipment. We recommend that
this work be performed by a Polaris dealer.
