active.

3. Press and hold the SET button for ten seconds, continuing to hold

even after the display begins to flash.

4. When the display stops flashing, release the button. The service

interval has been reset.

To reset the reminder at a new interval:

1. Enter the History Program.

2. Press and release the SET button until the service interval screen is

active.

3. Press and hold the SET button for five seconds, until the hours begin

to flash. Immediately release the button.

THE PERFECT FIT

IQ Front Suspension Adjustments

Independent Front Suspension (IFS)

Break in the suspension for approximately 150 miles (240 km) before
making any fine-tuning adjustments.

Settings will vary from rider to rider, depending on rider weight, vehicle
speed, riding style, and trail conditions. We recommend starting with
factory settings and then customizing each adjustment individually to
suit rider preference. The snowmobile should be methodically tested,
one change at a time, under the same conditions (trail and snow condi-
tions, vehicle speed, riding position, etc.) after each adjustment until the
best ride is achieved.

IFS Components

1. Ski

2. Front shock and spring

3. Rod ends

4. Upper control arms

5. Lower control arms

IFS Adjustment Options

• Shock spring preload

• Shock valving

• Optional springs

• Toe (ski alignment) (see

page 106)

• Camber (see your dealer)

Walker Evans Air Shocks

Walker Evans Air shocks are oil filled shocks that use nitrogen pressure
for spring force.These shocks are tuned for high performance riding in a
wide range of winter riding conditions.You will notice slight differ-
ences in ride height and spring rate at high and low temperature
extremes. Sled will sit higher at room temperature on showroom
floor. This will not affect the overall shock tuning or ride quality.
Always have your Walker Evans Air Shocks serviced annually to
replenish the Nitrogen charge and refresh the oil.

Troubleshooting

• See your dealer for any damaged parts or service items.
• Always install foam sleeve on IFS for service and trailering.
• Your dealer must always recharge both IFS shocks if charge pressure is in question.

Checking pressure without recharging is not possible without loosing pressure.

If One IFS Shock Feels Soft

• Check front suspension components for bent parts (look closely at rear

leg of lower A-arm) before continuing with shock troubleshooting.

• Look for oil leakage around shaft seal. If leaking, rebuild with new seal

and check for any nicks or dings in shaft.

• Always remove and recharge both IFS shocks together.

If Both IFS Shocks Feel Soft

• Remember that at extreme temperature (lower than -15 degrees F) the

IFS may have more free sag and feel slightly softer.

• Always remove and recharge both IFS shocks together.

If Front Track Shock Feels Soft

• Remember that at extreme temperature (lower than -15 degrees F) the

IFS may have more free sag and feel slightly softer.

• Check for oil leakage around the shock boot or shaft seal if boot is

removed. If leaking rebuild with new seal and check for any nicks or dings

in shaft.

• Recharge Front Track Shock to specification.
