SUSPENSION
The suspension should be adjusted
for the operational needs and riding
preference of the operator.

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
carrying capability of the snowmo-
bile and should be adjusted for the
weight and riding preference of the
operator.
