As snow cover and riding conditions change, several dif-
ferent adjustments can be made to change the ride and han-
dling characteristics for operator preference. Located on
the front suspension arm are limiter straps. They limit the
amount of “fallout” the front arm can have. These straps
may be adjusted in or out due to conditions and riding
style. The more the straps are brought up, the more steering
power the operator has due to the amount of ski pressure.
Another adjustment that can be made on the rear suspen-
sion is the front arm shock spring tension. As trail condi-
tions change, the spring pre-load may be used to decrease
the chance of the front end “bottoming out.” With a
stiffer spring pre-load, the ride of the snowmobile will
improve on the trail but will affect the performance in the
deep powder snow. In deep powder snow, the stiffer
spring pre-load will cause the front-end to “dig” and pos-
sibly take longer for it to plane off. Several different-rate
springs are available for different riding styles and terrain
conditions.
On the standard models, the front shock springs are also
individually adjustable for the terrain conditions 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 hous-
ing as an initial setting. Additional ski pressure can be
obtained by tightening the spring tension; ski pressure
can be decreased by relaxing spring tension. Springs with
different spring rates are available for operator choice
and snow conditions.
A limit exists as to how far you can pre-load the springs
before “coil bind” takes effect where the wire on the
spring actually runs into itself and causes binding. Equal
adjustments should be maintained on both sides of the
snowmobile. On the Sno Pro models with air shocks,
they 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 rid-
ing 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 ski shocks before operating the snowmobile.
Finally, track tension should be looked at to make sure
that it is within recommended specifications to affect the
efficiency of the snowmobile. On models with the torque
sensing link, the track is actually tightening as the sus-
pension moves through its range of motion causing the
track to sag in the middle and rub on the top part of the
rear suspension arm.
TRACK
Carefully matching the riding requirements to the type of
track will ensure the maximum use of all available engine
power. Lug height and track durometer are the two main
concerns when selecting a track for various riding styles.
Tracks exist with lug heights from 0.750” up to 2.25” to
accommodate various snow conditions. Generally, the
deeper the snow, the taller the lug. It must be noted that
the installation of any deep-lug track may reduce top end
speed and promote premature wear strip wear in marginal
snow conditions.
Durometer is a measurement of how hard a rubber is. The
lugs on most tracks range between 60 and 80 durometer.
On the durometer scale, the higher the number, the harder
the lugs. For riding in deep powder snow, a softer 60
durometer track works best. The softer rubber allows the
track to “give” a little and pack the snow creating lift
rather than digging its way straight down. When hill-
climbing, the harder lug of an 80 durometer track works
the best due to penetrating the hard snow creating more
bite.
Some tracks come with a dual durometer rating, such as a
track with a 80/60 durometer rating. The lugs on this
track are 80% 80 durometer rubber, and the top 20% is
made of the softer 60 durometer rubber. This track is
designed to be a good all-around track for riding mostly
in deep powder snow but can climb the occasional hard
snow hill.
Low Oil Pressure Warning
Light (4-Stroke)
The Low Oil Pressure Warning Light indicates engine oil
pressure, not the oil level; however, if the oil level is low,
it may affect oil pressure. The light should illuminate
each time the ignition switch is turned to RUN or
START, and it should go out when the engine starts. If
the light stays illuminated or it illuminates while the
engine is running, oil pressure has been lost and the
engine will automatically shut off.
NOTE: The following oil check procedures are valid
only if the oil pressure warning light has activated.
If oil pressure is lost, use the following procedure:
1. With the engine off, remove the engine oil level stick
and wipe it clean. Without screwing it in, set the
stick back in the oil tank. Remove it and observe the
oil level on the stick.
NOTE: To ensure an accurate reading, the snowmo-
bile should be on level ground.
2. If the oil level is at or below the ADD mark on the
oil level stick, add only enough recommended oil to
raise the level to the NORMAL range. DO NOT
overfill the reservoir with oil.
3. After adding oil if the engine starts, oil pressure
should be normal.
