Maximum set up width is the maximum allow- able distance between ski spindle centers at ride height. The Maximum Set Up Width specifications are maximum width measurements, and are critical to en- sure adequate torsion bar engagement with the Trail- ing/Control Arms. If the suspension is set too wide, the torsion bar may disengage from trailing arm. Do not at- tempt to set the suspension wider than the specified maximum set up width. WARNING After camber adjustment is complete, be sure to measure set up width outlined in this chapter and compare to model specifications listed. Do not at- tempt to set suspension wider than the specified maximum set up width. If set up width exceeds maximum, adjust upper and lower radius rods equally to maintain camber adjustment.
