The air shocks are individually adjustable
for the terrain conditions and driving
style of the operator. The shocks are pre-
set 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 terrain condi-
tions.
NOTE: Adding air pressure will
increase the air spring force; reduc-
ing air pressure will decrease air
spring force.
Checking and adjusting air pressure must
be done at riding temperature (outside).
Also, it is advisable to check air pressure
when the outside temperature varies
more than 25°.
Adjusting Front (Ski)
Shock Springs (Pantera
7000/ZR 4000 LXR)
The front (ski) shock springs are individ-
ually adjustable for the terrain conditions
and driving style of the operator. The
spring adjuster nut has been set at the fac-
tory so the correct amount of threads are
exposed between the adjuster nut and the
threaded shock body as an initial setting.
Additional ski pressure can be obtained
by tightening the spring tension; ski pres-
sure can be decreased by relaxing spring
tension.
NOTE: Equal adjustments should
be maintained on both sides of the
snowmobile.
Front (ski) shock spring pre-load adjust-
ment is accomplished by loosening the
adjuster nut locking collar (B) from the
adjuster nut (A) and using the Spring
Adjuster Tool from the tool kit, rotating
the adjuster nut in whichever direction is
desired. Tighten the locking collar
against the adjuster nut.

Adjusting Rear Spring
Pre-Load
Proper adjustment of rear spring pre-load
is necessary to get the most desirable
ride. The chart is designed to help in set-
ting up rear spring pre-load; however,
riding style is the single greatest factor in
determining rear spring requirements.
NOTE: These cam position set-
tings are suggestions only. Personal
riding style will greatly influence
cam position settings. Spend time to
determine setting preferences.
Rear spring pre-load adjustment is accom-
plished by rotating the adjusting cams.
Position 3 provides the stiffest ride, and
position 1 is for the light driver or slow-
speed trail riding. Position 2 is for the
average operator under normal conditions.
Always rotate the cam from the lighter
position to the heavier position.
