MAINTENANCE 59
NOTE: Arctic Cat recommends
that the overload springs be
engaged whenever a load on the
snowmobile (operator/passenger/
cargo) exceeds 136 kg (300 lb).
To either engage or disengage the
spring tension blocks, use a spark plug
socket and a screwdriver to adjust the
spring block to the desired position.
Make sure both spring blocks are in the
same position (either engaged or disen-
gaged).
