Installing The Child Restraint Using The Vehicle Seat Belts
• To install a child restraint, first, pull enough of the seat belt webbing from the retractorto route it through the belt path of the child restraint and slide the latch plate into the
buckle until you hear a “click.”
• Grasp the shoulder portion of the belt and pull all of the webbing out of the retractor.
• Allow some of the webbing to retract back into the retractor. As the belt retracts, you will hear a clicking sound indicating that the belt is now in Automatic Locking Mode.
• Tighten the lap portion of the belt and allow the excess webbing to retract back to the retractor. If it still does not make the child restraint secure, then secure the child
restraint with the Child Restraint Tether Anchor.

Compression Damping: 14 settings front and rear
Rebound Damping: 19 settings front and rear
Ride Height: +/- 1
14in. (32 mm)
• Any adjustments to the suspension settings should be made in small increments.
CAUTION!
The use of improper tools may severely damage your suspension. The tools included
with your Viper ACR are the only tools that should be used for adjusting the ride
height.
Ride Height Adjustment
• Your ACR is delivered from the factory at a ride height that provides a good balance for
drivability on the street. The adjustable suspension allows for ride height adjustment.
As with all of the suspension adjus tments, caution should be used when changing the
ride height.
• Before any adjustments are made to your ride height, clean threaded area with soapy
water to be sure it is free and clear of debris.
CAUTION!
Only the factory ride heights should be used while operating the vehicle on the street.
Low ride heights can cause damage to the vehicle.

Adjusting the ride height:
• Raise and support the vehicle. Both left andright side wheels should be lifted off the
ground to allow adjustment of the spring
seats without damage. Never make ride
height adjustments with the suspension
loaded. The helper spring should never be
fully compressed while adjusting ride
heights.
• Remove the wheel and tire assembly.
• Loosen the set screw on the lower spring seat (approx 1 turn).
• To lower the ride height, use the spanner wrench and rotate the lower spring seat counter-clockwise (as viewed fr om below the damper). Use the set screw as a
reference to return to street height.
• To raise the ride height, first turn the seat in the counter-clockwise direction and ensure the threads are clear of debris. Use the spanner wrench and reverse the
direction.
• Tighten the set screw to 22 in-lbs (2.5 N·m). DO NOT over tighten this screw.
• The ride height adjustment sensitivity is as follows: • Front: One turn = 0.104 in. (2.6 mm) height change at frame
• Rear: One turn = 0.134 in. (3.4 mm) height change at frame

WARNING!(Continued)
• Tires should be inspected regularlyby a qualified technician for signs
of damage, such as punctures,
impacts, under-inflation or
overloading.
• Progressive air loss may result from punctures, cuts, curbing, impacts
or partial bead unseating.
Some fitment causes for air loss are:
• Incomplete bead seating.
• Bead tearing caused by a machine tool due to insufficient lubrication
or improper adjustment.
• Leaking valve core or rubber valve components (these should be
replaced when problems are
detected and whenever tires are
replaced).
• Tire failure due to improper repairs.
• See Rubber Manufacturer's Association (RMA) established
