Snowmobile handling and comfort depend upon multiple ad-
justments.
WARNING
Suspension adjustment could affect vehicle handling.
Always take time to familiarize yourself with the vehicle's
behavior after any suspension adjustment have been
made. Always adjust LH and RH suspension components
to the same setting.
Choice of suspension adjustments vary with carrying load,
operator's weight, personal preference, riding speed and field
condition.
Note: Some adjustments may not apply to your snowmobile.
WARNING
Before proceeding with any suspension adjustment, re-
member:
- Park in a safe place.
- Remove the tether cord cap from the engine cut-off
switch.
- Use appropriate lifting device or have assistance to
share lifting stress. If a lifting device is not used, use
proper lifting techniques, notably using your legs force.
- Do not attempt to lift the front or rear of vehicle if it is
above your limits.
- Support front of vehicle off the ground with a suitable
device before adjusting suspension.
- Support rear of vehicle off the ground with a wide-base
snowmobile stand with a rear deflector panel.
- Make sure support device is stable and secure.
The best way to set up the suspension is to customize each
adjustment one at a time. Various adjustments are interrelated.
It may be necessary to readjust center spring after adjusting
front springs for instance. Test run the snowmobile under the
same conditions; trail, speed, snow, operator riding position,
etc. Proceed methodically until you are satisfied.
