STOPPER STRAP POSITION 3 (3RD HOLE)
1. Free holes
2. 3rd hole from end
3. Towards rear
4. Tip of strap touching strap axis
5. Two holes left open between screw head
and nut
6. Towards front
NOTE: Decreasing the stopper strap
length may reduce comfort. If too
much weight transfer is felt, try to cor-
rect it by adjusting the coupling blocks
first. Always install stopper strap bolt
as close as possible to the lower shaft.
When operating the snowmobile in
deep snow, it may be necessary to vary
stopper strap length and/or riding posi-
tion, to change the angle at which the
track rides on the snow. Operator's fa-
miliarity with the various adjustments
as well as snow conditions will dictate
the most efficient combination.
Generally, a longer stopper strap set-
ting gives better performance in deep
snow on a flat landscape.
Center Spring
Center spring preload has an effect on
steering effort, handling and bump ab-
sorption.
Also, since center spring preload ad-
justment puts more or less pressure
on the front of the track, it has an ef-
fect on the performance in deep snow.
