38 MAINTENANCE
The rear springs influence the load car-
rying capability of the snowmobile and
should be adjusted for the weight and
riding preference of the operator.
Adjusting Front Shock
Springs (STD)

NOTE: On some models, the front
shock springs are not adjustable.
The front shock springs are individu-
ally adjustable for the terrain condi-
tions and driving style of the operator.
The spring adjuster has been set at the
factory so the correct amount of
threads are exposed between the spring
adjuster and the shock housing as an
initial setting. Additional ski pressure
can be obtained by tightening the
spring tension; ski pressure can be
decreased by relaxing spring tension.

NOTE: Equal adjustments
should be maintained on both
sides of the snowmobile.
To adjust spring tension, use the Spring
Adjuster Tool from the tool kit and
rotate the adjuster in whichever direc-
tion is desired. If after adjusting spring
tension you note the snowmobile front
end wants to pitch, relax the spring ten-
sion on the side that is pitching. If both
sides are pitching, relax the spring ten-
sion on both sides.

Adjusting Shocks
(Fox Air Shocks)

NOTE: It is recommended to
monitor the air pressure in the air
shocks once every month.

NOTE: Adjusting air shocks may
be done by the snowmobile owner
if qualified to do so. If the owner
does not feel qualified, take the
snowmobile to an authorized Arc-
tic Cat Snowmobile dealer for this
service. This service is at the dis-
cretion and expense of the snow-
mobile owner.
The air shocks are individually adjust-
able for the terrain conditions and driv-
ing style of the operator. The shocks
are preset at the factory (see chart) as
an initial setting; however, it is possible
to “fine tune” the shocks to match the
operator’s weight, riding style, and ter-
rain conditions.
Checking and adjusting air pressure
must be done at riding temperature
(outside). Also, it is advisable to check
air pressure when the outside tempera-
ture varies more than 25°.
