each front shock absorber to the frame and the

upper A-arm. Account for bushings and sleeves

from each.

AF605D

3. Remove the two cap screws and nut securing each

rear shock absorber to the frame and lower A-arm.

Account for bushings and sleeves from each.

AF626D

4. Compress the shock absorber spring, remove the

retainer, and remove the spring.

AF730D

CLEANING AND INSPECTING



NOTE: Whenever a part is worn excessively,

cracked, or damaged in any way, replacement is
necessary.

1. Thoroughly clean all shock absorber components.

2. Inspect each shock rod for nicks, pits, rust, bends,

and oily residue.

3. Inspect all springs, spring retainers, shock rods,

sleeves, bushings, shock bodies, and eyelets for

cracks, leaks, and bends.

INSTALLING

1. Place the shock absorber spring over the shock

absorber, compress the spring, and install the

retainer.

2. Place bushings and sleeves (where appropriate)

into shock eyelet; then install shock with two cap

screws and nuts. Tighten all front and upper rear

nuts to 50 ft-lb and the lower rear A-arm nuts to

20 ft-lb.

3. Remove the ATV from the support stand.

! WARNING

Make sure the ATV is solidly supported on the sup-
port stand to avoid injury.

CAUTION

Additional support stands are necessary to support
the rear axle when the shock absorbers are removed
or damage may occur.

CAUTION

Do not tighten the lower shock to A-arm nuts beyond
the 20 ft-lb specification or the shock eyelet or mount
WILL be damaged.
