WARNING
Support the snowmobile securely on a suit-
able stand before adjusting the shock
absorbers.
CAUTION:
Make sure that there is no load on the
shock absorbers and that they are fully
extended before making any air pressure
adjustments.
3. Remove the air valve cap from the shock
absorber.
4. Install the hose connector of the special
pump onto the air valve of the shock
absorber and tighten it approximately six
turns until the pressure registers on the
pump gauge.
CAUTION:
Do not overtighten the connector onto the
air valve as this will damage the connector
seal.
NOTE:
If the shock absorber has no air pressure, the
gauge reading will be zero.
5. To increase the air pressure, operate the
pump a few times. The pressure should
increase slowly. If the pressure increases
rapidly, check to make sure that the pump is
properly connected and tightened onto the
air valve.
To decrease the air pressure, push the
black bleed valve button
.
NOTE: NOTE:
To allow pressure to escape from the pump
and the shock absorber, push the button half-
way down and hold it. To allow only a small
amount of pressure to escape, push the button
all the way down and quickly release it.
