Suspension Adjustment
The front shock assemblies (A, Figure 35) and the
operator compartment shock assembly (B) can be
adjusted to vary the amount of pre-load applied to the
springs. This allows the operator to maintain the ride
height.
Use less pre-load for light weight operators. Use
more pre-load for heavy weight operators.
To adjust the spring pre-load:
1. Park the machine on a flat, level surface.
Disengage the PTO, stop the engine and engage
the parking brake.
2. See Figure 35. Using the supplied spanner
wrench (P/N 5022853), insert the tip of the
wrench into the notch in the pre-load adjuster.
While holding the wrench with both hands, turn
CLOCKWISE to decrease the pre-load, turn
COUNTER-CLOCKWISE to increase the pre-load.
