Front Suspension Adjustment (if equipped)
The shock assembly can be adjusted to vary the amount
of preload applied to the springs. This allows the operator
to customize the ride according to operator’s weight and
operating conditions.
Less Pre-Load:
• Light operator weight
• Softer, more cushioned ride
• Best for relatively flat terrain
More Pre-Load:
• Heavy operator weight
• Stiffer, more rigid ride
• Better handling and greater stability on hilly terrain
To Adjust the Spring Pre-Load:
1. Park machine on a flat, level surface. Disengage the
PTO, stop the engine and engage the parking brake.
2. Turn the pre-load adjustment collar (A, Figure
17) CLOCKWISE to increase the pre-load, turn
COUNTERCLOCKWISE to decrease the pre-load.
Make sure both shocks are set to the same amount of
pre-load.
