Widetrak Torsion Spring Adjustments
Rear spring adjustment is primarily a control for riding
comfort. To check for the recommended settings:
1. Lift the rear of the machine to relieve the rear springs.
2. Slowly lower the machine and measure the distance
between the ground and the running board.
3. Without letting the suspension settle, the rider should
carefully mount the snowmobile.
4. Measure the distance between the ground and the
same spot on the running board. The difference
between the two readings should be approximately 1
1/2” (3.8 cm). If the difference is greater than 1 1/2”
the rear spring should be adjusted equally on both
sides until the desired 1 1/2” drop is obtained.
Compensating adjustments for heavy or light drivers or
cargo loads can be made by adjusting the rear spring eye
bolt (A) length. Adjust spring tension so there is equal
tension on the long leg of each spring.
NOTE: Rear spring settings will affect ski-to-ground
pressure. If ski pressure is too light it may be
desirable to tighten the rear springs for an increase in
ski-to-ground pressure.
Widetrak Ski Pressure Adjuster
A ski pressure adjuster is located on the rrear suspension
torque arm. Turn the adjuster knob clockwise (+) to
increase ski pressure when pulling or carrying heavy
loads. Turn the adjuster counterclockwise (-) to reduce ski
pressure under normal operating conditions.
