WARNING
Always remove DESS tether cord cap before performing any
maintenance or adjustment, unless otherwise specified. Vehi-
cle must be parked in a safe place, away from the trail. Always
lift the front of vehicle off the ground with a suitable lifting de-
vice before adjusting ski suspension. Lift the rear of vehicle
off the ground with a wide-base snowmobile stand with a rear
deflector panel before rear suspension adjustment.
WARNING
Do not attempt to lift the vehicle by hand alone. Use appropri-
ate lifting device to avoid risk of strain injuries. Always make
sure the lifting device is stable and secure before proceeding
to adjust the suspension components.
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.
NOTE:
Some models may come from factory equipped with
Take/Apart (T/A) shocks. These can be rebuilt or recalibrated. See
an authorized SKI-DOO dealer.
1. Rear Springs — Comfort
IMPORTANT:
Make sure that all objects to be transported are in
place in storage compartment and rear rack.
Grab rear bumper and lift until suspension is fully extended. From
this point, rear of snowmobile should collapse by 50 to 75 mm (2 to
3 in) when driver and passenger (if so applicable) take place. Mea-
sure at rear bumper as shown in next photo.
WARNING
Do not attempt to lift the vehicle by hand alone. Use appro-
priate lifting device or have assistance to share lifting stress in
order to avoid risk of strain injuries.
