ESU10900
Adjusting the ski spring preload
CAUTION:
ECS00250
The left and right ski spring preload must
be set to the same setting. Uneven set-
tings can cause poor handling and loss of
stability.
The spring preload can be adjusted by turning
the spring preload adjusting ring.
ESU10921
Adjusting the ski damping
force(RST90GT)
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).
