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 front
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.
[ECS00721]
TIP
If the shock absorber has no air pressure, the
gauge reading will be zero.
5. To increase the air pressure, operate the
pump a few times. The pressure should
increase slowly. If the pressure increases
