Control functions 5. To increase the air pressure, operate the pump a few times. The pressure should increase slowly. If the pressure increases rapidly, check to make sure that the pump is properly connected and tightened onto the air valve. To decrease the air pressure, push the black bleed valve button. NOTE: When removing the connector, the sound of air escaping may be heard, but this is from the pump hose, not the shock absorber. Air pressure range: 345 kPa (3.4 kgf/cm², 50 psi) to 1,034 kPa (10.3 kgf/cm², 150 psi) Recommended air pressure: 483 kPa (4.8 kgf/cm², 70 psi) ECS00730 CAUTION: Do not exceed 1,034 kPa (10.3 kgf/cm², 150 psi). 7. Install the air valve cap. NOTE: If the front suspension bottoms too easily or rolls too much during cornering, increase the air pressure by 34 kPa (0.3 kgf/cm², 5 psi). If the suspension is too firm and you want a more compliant ride, decrease the air pressure by 34 kPa (0.3 kgf/cm², 5 psi). ESU10921 Adjusting the ski damping force (PZ50GT) ECS00260 1. Bleed valve button CAUTION: The damping forces for the left and right ski shock absorbers must be adjusted to the same settings. Uneven settings can cause poor handling and loss of stability. Compression damping force The compression damping force of each ski shock absorber can be adjusted by turning the compression damping force adjusting knob. To increase the compression damping force, turn the adjusting knob in direction (a). To decrease the compression damping force, turn the adjusting knob in direction (b). NOTE: To allow pressure to escape from the pump and the shock absorber, push the button halfway down and hold it. To allow only a small amount of pressure to escape, push the button all the way down and quickly release it. 6. Remove the hose connector from the air valve. 26

5.
To increase the air pressure, operate the
pump a few times. The pressure should
increase slowly. If the pressure increases
rapidly, check to make sure that the
pump is properly connected and tight-
ened onto the air valve. To decrease the
air pressure, push the black bleed valve
button.
NOTE:
To allow pressure to escape from the pump
and the shock absorber, push the button half-
way down and hold it. To allow only a small
amount of pressure to escape, push the but-
ton all the way down and quickly release it.
6.
Remove the hose connector from the air
valve.
NOTE:
When removing the connector, the sound of
air escaping may be heard, but this is from the
pump hose, not the shock absorber.
CAUTION:
ECS00730
Do not exceed 1,034 kPa (10.3 kgf/cm², 150
psi).
7.
Install the air valve cap.
NOTE:
If the front suspension bottoms too easily or
rolls too much during cornering, increase the
air pressure by 34 kPa (0.3 kgf/cm², 5 psi). If
the suspension is too firm and you want a
more compliant ride, decrease the air pres-
sure by 34 kPa (0.3 kgf/cm², 5 psi).

Adjusting the ski damping force
(PZ50GT)
CAUTION:
ECS00260
The damping forces for the left and right
ski shock absorbers must be adjusted to
the same settings. Uneven settings can
cause poor handling and loss of stability.
Compression damping force
The compression damping force of each ski
shock absorber can be adjusted by turning
the compression damping force adjusting
knob.
To increase the compression damping force,
turn the adjusting knob in direction (a). To de-
crease the compression damping force, turn
the adjusting knob in direction (b).
