On standard models, the rear arm shock
absorber spring influences the load carry-
ing capability of the snowmobile and
should be adjusted for the weight and rid-
ing preference of the operator.

NOTE: On Sno Pro models, this
adjustment is achieved by increase-
ing or decreasing the air pressure in
the rear arm air shock absorber.
Adjusting Front (Ski)
Shock Springs
The front (ski) shock springs are individ-
ually adjustable for the terrain conditions
and driving style of the operator. The
spring adjuster nut has been set at the fac-
tory so the correct amount of threads are
exposed between the adjuster nut and the
threaded shock body as an initial setting.
Additional ski pressure can be obtained
by tightening the spring tension; ski pres-
sure can be decreased by relaxing spring
tension.

NOTE: Equal adjustments should
be maintained on both sides of the
snowmobile.
Front (ski) shock spring pre-load adjust-
ment is accomplished by loosening the
adjuster nut locking collar (B) from the
adjuster nut (A) and using the Spring
Adjuster Tool from the tool kit, rotating
the adjuster nut in whichever direction is
desired. Tighten the locking collar
against the adjuster nut.

Adjusting Fox Air Shocks
(Sno Pro Models)

NOTE: It is recommended to moni-
tor the air pressure in the air shocks
once every month.

NOTE: Adjusting air shocks may
be done by the snowmobile owner if
qualified to do so. If the owner does
not feel qualified, take the snowmo-
bile to an authorized Arctic Cat
Snowmobile dealer for this service.
This service is at the discretion and
expense of the snowmobile owner.
The air shocks are individually adjustable
for the terrain conditions and driving style
of the operator. The shocks are preset at
the factory (see chart) as an initial setting;
however, it is possible to “fine tune” the
shocks to match the operator’s weight,
riding style, and terrain conditions.
Checking and adjusting air pressure must
be done at riding temperature (outside).
Also, it is advisable to check air pressure
when the outside temperature varies
more than 25°.

NOTE: Care should be taken to have
equal pressure in the front (ski) shocks
before operating the snowmobile.
To increase or decrease air pressure, use
the following procedure.

NOTE: When adjusting air pres-
sure, all weight must be removed
from the suspension, and the shock
absorbers must be fully extended.

NOTE: Adding air pressure will
increase the air spring force; reduc-
ing air pressure will decrease air
spring force.
1. Remove the air valve cap from the
shock.
2. Thread the valve of Shock Absorber
Air Pump (p/n 2603-614) onto the
shock air valve approximately six
rotations.
