Guidelines to Adjust Suspension
The best way to set up suspension, is to start from factory settings
then customize each adjustment one at a time. Test run the snow-
mobile under the same conditions; trail, speed, snow, driver riding
position etc. Change one adjustment and retest. Proceed methodi-
cally until you are satisfied.
CAUTION:
Whenever adjusting rear suspension, check track ten-
sion and adjust as necessary.
Slight suspension bottoming occurring under the worst riding condi-
tions indicates a good choice of spring preload.
WARNING
Always completely stop vehicle and engine before attempt-
ing any suspension adjustments.
