ESU12550
Adjusting the front shock absorber air
pressure (PZ50RT)
CAUTION:
ECS00700
The left and right shock absorber air pres-
sure must be set to the same setting. Un-
even settings can cause poor handling
and loss of stability.
This snowmobile is equipped with FOX shock
absorbers as standard equipment.
The air pressure of the shock absorbers can
be adjusted using the shock absorber pump
included with your snowmobile.
To adjust the air pressure
WARNING
EWS00620
Support the snowmobile securely on a
suitable stand before adjusting the shock
absorbers.
CAUTION:
ECS00710
Make sure that there is no load on the
shock absorbers and that they are fully ex-
tended before making any air pressure ad-
justments.
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.
3.
Remove the air valve cap from the shock
absorber.
4.
Install the hose connector of the shock
absorber pump onto the air valve of the
shock absorber and tighten it approxi-
mately six turns until the pressure regis-
ters on the pump gauge.
CAUTION:
ECS00720
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 reading will be zero.
