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 and tighten it approxi-
mately six turns until the pressure regis-
ters on the pump gauge. NOTICE: Do
not overtighten the connector onto
the air valve as this will damage the
connector 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
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. NOTICE: Do not exceed 1034
kPa (10.3 kgf/cm², 150 psi).
