WARNING
Always remove tether cord cap before performing any main-
tenance or adjustment, unless otherwise specified. Vehicle
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.
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. Measure at rear bumper as shown in next illustration.
