· Short belt—high ski pressure.
· Long belt—low ski pressure.
At the factory the belt is adjusted to the longest position. For a long
drive the ski pressure may be moderate; easy steering. High speed
on bumby road; low ski pressure.
IMPORTANT! For the best result the tension of the front shock
absorber spring in slide rail is to be adjusted at the same time as
that of the limiting belt.
Short limiting belt = loose shock absorber spring.
Long limiting belt = stiff shock absorber spring.
SHOCK ABSORBER/SPRING, SLIDE-RAIL
Adjusting
The riveting knob at the upper end of the shock absorber spring has
5 notches. By rotating the riveting knob the spring tightens/ loosens.
Recommendation
The rear spring is recommended to be as loose as possible. A
smooth elasticity means pleasant driving comfort. Depending on
the weight of the driver of in case a passengers follows, the spring
tension is adjusted so that suspension does not go to the bottom.
ADJUSTING SUSPENDED EXTENSION
The function of suspended extension can be adjusted according to
the driving need and the circumstances. A “loose” extension improves
running characteristics in soft snow. A “stiff” extension gives
the best pulling effect on hard terrain and a better driving comfort
when driving with a passenger.
