WARNING!

or other qualified snowmobile mechanic

to fit your shock absorber.

manual are to be followed when chang-

ing the shock absorber. Read and truly

understand these instructions.

3. When working on a lifted vehicle it

must be securely supported to prevent

it from falling.

Mounting Instructions

Lift the rear end of the snowmobile so the

rear suspension has ground clearance.

Make sure it is steadily positioned and

will not fall down.

CAUTION!

For certain snowmobiles it is not

advisible to roll it over or lay it on it’s side.

Especially for machines with injection oil

system, loss of lubrication due to air in

the system can damage the engine. Also

fuel can leak from the gasoline tank.

NOTE!

When disassembling suspension com-

ponents it’s always easier first to loosen,

but not remove all bolts, before remov-

ing the components. Reversed order

when assembling, tightening all bolts is

the last thing you should do.

WARNING!

The springs are very heavily preloaded.

It is of greatest importance to hold the

spring in a firm grip when it´s attachment

is beeing removed. There is risk for dam-

ages from squeesing. Use protection

gloves.

Release the rear suspension attachment.

Use a 7/8” or 23 mm key to hold the nut

on the inside of the rear mounting

bracket.

Fold the rear suspension out.

Release the springs by lifting them from the

idler rollers. Hold the springs in a firm grip

when releasing them and do not let go.
