
NOTE: Allow the track to coast to a
stop. DO NOT apply the brake
because it could produce an inaccu-
rate alignment condition.
4. When the track stops rotating, check
the relationship of the rear idler
wheels and the inner track drive lugs.
If the rear idler wheels are centered
between the inner track drive lugs, no
adjustment is necessary.
5. If the idler wheels are not centered
between the inner track drive lugs,
an adjustment is necessary.
Adjusting Track Alignment
1. On the side of the track which has the
inner track drive lugs closer to the
rear idler wheel, loosen the adjusting
bolt jam nut; then rotate the adjusting
bolt clockwise 1 to 1 1/2 turns.

NOTE: The rear axle cap screws
must also be loosened.
2. Check track alignment and continue
adjustment until proper alignment is
obtained.

NOTE: Make sure correct track
tension is maintained after adjust-
ing track alignment.
3. After proper track alignment is
obtained, tighten the adjusting bolt
jam nut against the axle housing.
! WARNING
If jam nuts are not tightened properly,
the adjusting bolts could loosen
causing the
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.

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.
The rear springs influence the load carry-
ing capability of the snowmobile and
should be adjusted for the weight and rid-
ing preference of the operator.
Adjusting Rear Spring
Preload
Proper adjustment of rear spring preload
is necessary to get the most desirable
ride. The chart is designed to help in set-
ting up rear spring preload; however, rid-
ing style is the single greatest factor in
determining rear spring requirements.
