If the shock absorber is too firm and you want a more compliant ride, decrease the air pressure by 34 kPa (0.3 kgf/cm², 5 psi). Rear shock absorber To adjust the air pressure 1. Place the snowmobile on a level surface and apply the parking brake. 2. Lift the rear of the snowmobile onto a suitable stand to raise the drive track off the ground. 3.

To allow only a small amount of pressure to escape, push the button all the way down and quickly release it. 6. Push the hose connector lock lever down, and then remove the hose connector from the air valve. 1. Air valve cap 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.

air pressure, push the black bleed valve
button.
NOTICE:
Do not exceed 1406
kPa (14.1 kgf/cm², 200 psi).
[ECS00981]
TIP
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.
Push the hose connector lock lever
down, and then remove the hose connec-
tor from the air valve.
TIP
When removing the connector, the sound of
air escaping may be heard, but this is from the
pump hose, not the shock absorber.
7.
Install the air valve cap.
TIP
If the shock absorber bottoms too easily or
rolls too much during cornering, increase the
air pressure by 34 kPa (0.3 kgf/cm², 5 psi). If
the shock absorber is too firm and you want a
more compliant ride, decrease the air pres-
sure by 34 kPa (0.3 kgf/cm², 5 psi).
Rear shock absorber
To adjust the air pressure
1.
Place the snowmobile on a level surface
and apply the parking brake.
2.
Lift the rear of the snowmobile onto a suit-
able stand to raise the drive track 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.
