THE PERFECT FIT

Suspension Quick Set-Up Guide

The suspension on your RUSH is incredibly easy to adjust to your

weight and riding style. Just remember three simple steps:
1. Set up rear shock spring preload for rider weight.
2. Adjust the rear spring to tune vehicle balance (ski pressure and

weight transfer).

3. Adjust shock clickers to tune ride quality (stiffer or softer ride).
The following Quick Set-Up Guide walks you through what you need to

know to get started, and additional detail is available on the pages

immediately following the guide. See pages 40-41 for factory and initial

suspension charts for the standard spring as well as for accessory

springs that are available for heavier or lighter riders.
Step 1: Set up rear shock spring preload for rider weight.
Before riding for the first time, use the gauge supplied with your snow-

mobile to adjust rear spring preload to the appropriate setting for the

rider’s weight.
Position the narrow end of

the gauge flush with the

spring retainer. Turn the

spring until the rider’s

weight setting aligns with

the silver/red junction on

the shock body.
Make no other suspension

adjustments at this time.

Test ride the snowmobile

in various terrain to fully

experience the existing

suspension settings before

making adjustments.

TIP: Initially, heavier riders may want to set the shock clickers 2-4 clicks higher

than lighter riders.
