NOTE:
Decreasing the stopper strap
length may reduce comfort.
When operating the snowmobile in
deep snow or hill climbing, it may be
necessary to vary stopper strap length
and/or riding position, to change the
angle at which the track rides on the
snow. Operator's familiarity with the
various adjustments as well as snow
conditions will dictate the most effi-
cient combination.
Generally, a longer stopper strap set-
ting gives better performance in deep
snow on a flat landscape and a shorter
setting will improve handling in steep
hill climbing conditions.
Center Spring
Center spring preload has an effect on
steering effort, handling and bump ab-
sorption.
Also, since center spring preload ad-
justment puts more or less pressure
on the front of the track, it has an ef-
fect on the performance in deep snow.
