Adjusting the front shock absorber air pressure
For RX10RTR/RX10MS
This snowmobile is equipped with FOX shock absorbers
as standard equipment.
The air pressure of the shock absorbers can be adjusted
using the special pump
1
included with your snowmo-
bile.
NOTE:
@
The following procedure applies to both shock absorb-
ers.
@
1. Place the snowmobile on a level surface and apply
the parking brake.
2. Lift the front of the snowmobile onto a suitable stand
to raise the skis off the ground.
WARNING
@
Support the snowmobile securely on a suitable
stand before adjusting the shock absorbers.
@
CAUTION
:
@
Make sure that there is no load on the shock absorb-
ers and that they are fully extended before making
any air pressure adjustments.
@
3. Remove the air valve cap
2
from the shock absorber.
4. Install the hose connector
3
of the special pump
onto the air valve of the shock absorber and tighten it
approximately six turns until the pressure registers on
the pump gauge.
CAUTION
:
@
Do not overtighten the connector onto the air valve
as this will damage the connector seal.
@
NOTE:
@
If the shock absorber has no air pressure, the gauge
