Guidelines to Adjust Suspension
The following is to fine-tune suspension.
The best way to set up suspension, is to start from factory settings
then customize each adjustment one at a time. Adjustments 2
through 6 are interrelated. It may be necessary to readjust center
spring after adjusting front springs for instance. Test run the snow-
mobile under the same conditions; trail, speed, snow, driver riding
position, etc. Change one adjustment and retest. Proceed methodi-
cally until you are satisfied.
Remove tether cord cap before performing any maintenance
or adjustment, unless otherwise specified. Vehicle must be
parked in a safe place, away from the trail.
CAUTION: Whenever adjusting rear suspension, check track ten-
sion and adjust as necessary.
Slight suspension bottoming occurring under the worst riding condi-
tions indicates a good choice of spring preload.
NOTE: Some models may come from factory equipped with
Take/Apart (T/A) shocks. These can be rebuilt or recalibrated. See an
authorized SKI-DOO dealer.
