Limiter straps
When the length of the limiter straps are adjusted, the position of
the front of the slide rail is modified. (Angle of attack)
To change the length of the limiter straps, simply unscrew the
nuts (No.1), remove the bolts and then position them in one of
the holes labelled No. 2 at the right. While compressing the
suspension slightly, you will be able to push the bolts through
the remaining leg of the strap that runs up and over the upper
shaft and then re-install the nuts and washers to hold this
position.
If the limiter strap is shortened, the pressure on the front of the
rail is reduced and the angle of attack is increased, which gives
better performance in deep snow.
If the limiter strap is lengthened, the pressure on the front of the
rail is increased, and the angle of attack and the pressure on the
ski are decreased, which gives better performance on rough
terrain.
