Guidelines to Adjust Suspension
The following is to fine-tune suspension.
The best way to set up a suspension, is to start from factory settings,
then customize each adjustment one at a time. Adjustments 2
through 6 are interrelated. It may be necessary to readjust center
spring after adjusting front springs for instance. 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
Do not attempt to lift the vehicle by hand alone. Use appropri-
ate lifting device or have assistance to share lifting stress in
order to avoid risk of strain injuries.
WARNING
Always remove DESS tether cord cap before performing any
maintenance or adjustment, unless otherwise specified. Ve-
hicle must be parked in a safe place, away from the trail. Al-
ways 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 suitable lifting device before rear
suspension adjustment.
