Place the snowmobile on a level surface and apply the parking brake. Lift the front of the snowmobile onto a suitable stand to raise the skis off the ground. Remove the air valve cap from the shock absorber. WARNING The air pressure of the left and right shock absorbers must be adjusted to the same setting. Uneven settings can cause poor handling and loss of stability. A shock absorber pump is provided with your snowmobile to adjust the air pressure of the shock absorbers. This pump is equipped with an air pressure gauge. One side of the gauge has a low-pressure meter and the other side of the gauge has a high-pressure meter. Use the low-pressure meter to adjust the shock absorbers. 3. 1 50 3 150 10 0 20 0 15 10 5 0 RACING SHOX 250 20 30 0 2 1. Shock absorber pump 2. Pressure gauge (low-pressure meter) 3.

ESU13620
Adjusting the air pressure of the front
shock absorbers
(FX10M53S/FX10M62S)
WARNING
EWS00730
The air pressure of the left and right shock
absorbers must be adjusted to the same
setting. Uneven settings can cause poor
handling and loss of stability.
A shock absorber pump is provided with your
snowmobile to adjust the air pressure of the
shock absorbers. This pump is equipped with
an air pressure gauge. One side of the gauge
has a low-pressure meter and the other side
of the gauge has a high-pressure meter. Use
the low-pressure meter to adjust the shock
absorbers.
To adjust the air pressure
WARNING
EWS00621
Support the snowmobile securely on a
suitable stand before adjusting the shock
absorbers. Otherwise, the snowmobile
could fall and cause injury.
NOTICE
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, tighten it approximately
six turns until the pressure registers on
the pump gauge, and then pull the hose
connector lock lever up.
NOTICE:
Do not
overtighten the connector onto the air
valve as this will damage the connec-
tor seal.
