WARNING
Always remove the tether cord
cap (DESS key) 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 device 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 appropriate lift-
ing device to avoid risk of strain in-
juries. Always make sure the lift-
ing device is stable and secure be-
fore proceeding to adjust the sus-
pension components.
CAUTION:
Whenever
adjusting
rear suspension, check track ten-
sion and adjust as necessary.
Slight suspension bottoming occurring
under the worst riding conditions indi-
cates 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 recal-
ibrated. See an authorized SKI-DOO
dealer.
Rear Springs — Comfort

Make sure that all ob-
jects to be transported are in place in

pension is fully extended.

to 3 in) when driver and passenger
(if so applicable) take place. Mea-
sure at rear bumper as shown in
next illustration.
WARNING
Do not attempt to lift the vehicle
by hand alone. Use appropriate
lifting device or have assistance
to share lifting stress in order to
avoid risk of strain injuries.
