bolt jam nut against the axle

SUSPENSION
The suspension should be adjusted
for the operational needs and riding
preference of the operator.
The front shock springs determine
the amount of ski pressure and the
reaction of the front suspension to
rough terrain. The amount of ski
pressure can also be changed by
adjusting the length of the skid
frame front arm limiter straps.
The rear springs influence the load
carrying capability of the snowmo-
bile and should be adjusted for the
weight and riding preference of the
operator.
Adjusting Front Shock Springs
The front shock springs are individ-
ually adjustable for the terrain con-
ditions and driving style of the
operator. The spring adjuster has
been set at the factory so the correct
amount of threads are exposed
between the spring adjuster and the
shock housing as an initial setting.
Additional ski pressure can be
obtained by tightening the spring

should be maintained on both
sides of the snowmobile.
To adjust spring tension, rotate the
entire spring in whichever direction
is desired. If after adjusting spring
tension you note the snowmobile
front end wants to pitch, relax the
spring tension on the side that is
pitching. If both sides are pitching,
relax the spring tension on both
sides.
„
NOTE: The spring adjuster will
normally rotate with the spring.
