_ CAUTION:
Always
turn
the
left
."
side adjuster blocks in a clock-
wise direction, the
right
side blocks in a
counter-clockwise direction.
Left
and
right adjuster blocks of each adjust-
ment
must
always be set at the same
elevation.
Lift the rear of vehicle and
support
with
a mechanical stand.
Allow
the slide to
extend normally. Check the gap 13 mm
(1/2")
between the slider shoe and the
bottom
inside of the track. If the track
tension is too loose, the track will have
a tendency to
thump.
Track
Lift the rear of the vehicle and support
it
off
the ground.
With
the engine
off,
rotate the track by hand, and inspect
condition. If
worn
or
cut,
or if track
fibers are exposed or missing or defec-
tive inserts or guides are noted, con-
tact
your dealer.
+
W A RNING: Do
not
operate a
snowmobile
with
a cut,
torn
or
damaged track.
Track Tension and Alignment
The suspension is adjustable, the
front
adjustment for surface condition, the
rear for driver's
weight.
When the
front
adjuster blocks are at
the lowest elevation more
weight
is
distributed on the skis.
At
the highest
position the
weight
is transferred to the
track. The rear adjuster blocks should
be adjusted to suit the driver's
preference.
_ CAUTION: If spark plug condi-
."
tion
is
not
ideal,
contact
your
au-
thorized dealer.
Check spark plug gap using a wire
feeler gauge.
Reinstall plugs and
connect
wires.
Suspension
Visually inspect all suspension
compo-
nents including slider shoes, springs,
wheels, etc ...
O
NOTE: During normal driving,
snow
will act as a lubricant and
coolant for the slider shoes. Extensive
riding on ice or sanded
snow,
(not to
mention dirt, asphalt, etc. never re-
commended) will create excessive heat
build-up and cause premature slider
shoe wear.
Overheated
(light grey) (black)
Normal (brownish)
Spark Plugs
Disconnect the spark plug wires and
remove the spark plugs.
Check the condition of the plugs.
• A brownish tip reflects ideal condi-
tions. (Correct carburetor, spark
plug heat range; etc.).
• A black insulator tip indicates fouling
caused by: carburetor idle speed
mixture
and/or
high speed mixture
too
rich, incorrect fuel mixture ratio,
wrong
type of spark plug (heat
range), or excessive idling.
• A light grey insulator tip indicates a
lean mixture caused by; carburetor
high speed mixture adjusted
too
lean,
wrong
spark plug heat range,
incorrect fuel mixture ratio, or a
leaking seal or gasket.
